This flavorful, easy-to-prepare lamb dish makes room for one of the several tangy home-brewed marinades Deborah has developed.
Ingredients
2-1/2 pounds lamb riblets (figure 3 or 4 per serving)
1 recipe Curry or Kebab Marinade (recipes follow)
Instructions
Parboil riblets for 20 to 30 minutes to remove the superficial fat to make the ribs crispier when they’re done. Remove from liquid and marinate in your choice of marinades overnight, turning riblets to be sure they are well coated with marinade. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Arrange riblets in baking pan, baste with marinade, and bake until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Baste frequently while baking.
