Instructions

Lamb Riblets

  • Place the lamb ribs in a small stock pot, cover with water and slowly simmer for a few hours.

Barbecue Sauce

  • Reduce by 1/4 and reserve.

Salad

  • Thinly slice carrots and cabbage and add vinegar, mayo, and sugar. Toss well, then serve.

Finish and Serve

  • Note: ribs are already fully cooked and only need to be crisped and browned on the grill. You can also warm them in an oven.
  • Oil the ribs lightly, then grill at medium heat on each sides for 1 minute.
  • Baste with barbecue sauce and remove from heat once sticky.
  • Be careful to keep the ribs away from direct heat once coated with the sauce as they will burn.
