Most men I know LOVE ribs. This recipe makes the most of fresh spring lamb, as well as delicious fresh ingredients such as pomegrantate and lemon.
Ingredients:
• 16 lambs rib rack
• 4tbsp labneh
• 4 sprigs parsley (roughly chopped)
• Crushed pistachio
• 2 Lemon juice and zest
• 4 large sliced Dill Pickle
• 150ml olive oil
• 1 pomegranate (seeds only)
Method:
1. For the lamb: season generously with salt and refrigerate for 2 hours. Rinse the ribs in cold water and dry with a cloth. Pre-heat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius. Place the ribs fat side down on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, drizzle with vegetable oil and cover with foil. Cook for 8 hours or until the ribs are tender. Leave to cool. Trim any excess fat.
2. Colour the ribs in a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, flashing through the oven if necessary. Cut between each rib bone to serve.
3. For the Dressing: mix the lemon juice, zest, pistachios, pomegranates, roughly chopped parsley and olive oil. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Plating: Generous table spoon of labneh spread on the plate, stack the ribs evenly 4 or 6 depending on your serving sizes. Then place the sliced dill pickles on top of the rib, and to finish the dish, spoon the dressing over each of the ribs.
Tip: In the restaurant we make all the dill pickles and labneh in house, by doing this you improve the quality of your product. We also make a yoghurt glaze to coat the lamb ribs, this is made by boiling yoghurt and lemon juice and reducing it till it has a glaze like consistency. This cuts through some of the richness that comes from the lamb ribs.
