BBQ Lamb Ribs
BBQ Lamb Ribs
Lamb ribs, sometimes referred to as “lamb breast”, are a great alternative to pork back ribs. In fact, they are superior to pork in that lamb fat is way tastier than pork fat, and I consider lamb to be healthier and easier to digest than pork. The only drawback to these, is that (depending on where you live) they may be hard to find at your local grocery store.
If you have seen my video recipe on how to make Championship baby back pork ribs, you know that I like to tenderize my ribs in the pressure cooker before I roast or grill them. Well, I do the same thing with the lamb. I stick these in the pressure cooker prior to roasting them with the sauce.
If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can boil them in salted water for an hour before roasting or grilling them. But they won’t turn out quite as tender or as flavorful as they would in the pressure cooker.
