Lamb ribs - how to cook them

I frequently buy a half or a whole lamb and always get a rack of ribs with this - but I never really know what to do with them. I've tried roasting them (which does kind of work), and I've tried some of the recipes that you see around for pork ribs which don't seem to work with lamb.

Can anyone give me any suggestions for what to do with them?

Best Answer

My local lamb (grass paddock raised) just doesn't have enough fat on it to survive a "rack in the oven" experience. Hogget & mutton is fine. This may be your problem too?

So for lamb I would cleave the rack into individual ribs and BBQ on medium-high till the surface has crisped (typically twice as long as a similar beef cut). All the fat should have run. Most people I know don't like eating visible lamb fat

I lightly coat the cut meat surface with oil just before placing on BBQ to ensure an instant sear. You want the lamb to crisp without drying out

If using a wood fired BBQ drop a bunch of fresh lavender (leaf and flowers) under the grill to slightly smoke the lamb

As with pork ribs, lamb ribs can be tough and how you cook them makes a difference in their tenderness.

Do you boil lamb ribs before grilling?

Since the ribs are fatty, many cooks choose to parboil spareribs for a short time or boil for an extended period of time to tenderize the rib meat. This renders some of the surface fat and makes it easier to remove the inner skin from the ribs before you grill them, too.
