Sticky and Spicy Lamb Ribs
Method:
Step 1 – Remove the membrane or flap from the bony side of the lamb ribs with a sharp
Step 2 – Mix the olive oil, sumac, cumin, red pepper, salt, black pepper, paprika and garlic to form a paste and paste the lamb ribs on both sides. Allow to marinate for at least 1.
Step 3 – Preheat oven to 140C/ 284F. Cover the ribs with foil and roast for 2 hours. The ribs will shrink considerably. Allow to cool (if you have time, cool them completely).
Step 4 – Place a rack on a lined baking tray and place the ribs onto the rack so that any excess fat can drain. Mix the brown sugar, fish sauce and tamarind paste together to form a glaze. Brush the glaze onto the meaty top of the ribs and bake for 10-15 minutes until sticky. Serve with lemon with some roast potatoes.
