Grilled or Broiled Lamb Ribs

Grilled or Broiled Lamb Ribs

Ingredients: (Serves 4)

4 pounds lamb breast (whole or riblets)

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup orange marmalade or maple syrup

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar

1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions: 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Add the lamb and simmer for 30 minutes if the ribs are already separate, 45 minutes if the breast is in large sections. Meanwhile, heat a charcoal or gas grill or the broiler until moderately hot and put the rack at least 4 inches from the heat source.

Drain the ribs and let them sit until cool enough to handle. Mix together all the remaining ingredients. If necessary, cut the sections into individual ribs (just cut between them with a boning knife) and grill or broil them, basting frequently with the sauce. These burn very easily, so turn frequently and watch carefully. When they are brown and crisp all over - no more than 10 or at the most 15 minutes - remove from the grill and serve.
