Ingredients

  1. 4 pounds lamb ribs
  2. ½ cup lemon juice
  3. 3 tablespoons molasses
  4. 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  5. 2 tablespoons mustard
  6. 2 tablespoons ketchup
  7. 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  8. 1 tablespoon curry powder
  9. 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  10. 1 tablespoon salt
  11. 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  12. 1 onion, quartered
  13. 2 small tomatoes, quartered
  14. 2 small thin-skinned sweet peppers, cored and seeded
  15. 1 cup finely chopped parsley
  16. 9 cloves garlic, minced
  17. 1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash ribs thoroughly. Soak in a large bowl of water, changing the water every 30 minutes, to remove excess fat, about 2 hours. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Mix lemon juice, molasses, vinegar, mustard, ketchup, cinnamon, curry powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large, deep bowl.
  3. Combine onion, tomatoes, sweet peppers, parsley, garlic, and cayenne pepper in a food processor; pulse to form a paste.
  4. Stir onion paste into the lemon juice mixture in the bowl. Add lamb ribs; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator, at least 10 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  6. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a rack on top. Arrange ribs on the rack.
  7. Bake ribs in the preheated oven until fat has rendered and meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cover ribs with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Loved it! Split the ribs in 3’s, baked at 300 for 2hr 15min . I substituted cilantro for parsley , and a Tablespoon of ground coriander . Salted a bit more when finished . Marinade time was overnight . This was very very easy hands off once you have all the ingredients together . Great for entree or passed app or even party platter . I think this would work well with pork belly also !!!! Minus 1 star for time thats it
