Curried Denver Lamb Ribs
Curried Denver Lamb Ribs
These smoky, savory ribs get lots of flavor from a dry rub made with blended curry spices. If you don’t have curry at home, make your own version by combining cardamom, turmeric, cumin, coriander, dry mustard, and chipotle pepper.
Servings
1
Ingredients
- ¼ cup curry spice
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 racks denver lamb spare ribs
Directions
- Combine all of the ingredients (except for the ribs) until uniformly mixed. Then, prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from underneath. This can be done by inserting a butter knife under the membrane.
- Apply olive oil to the ribs and then generously coat them on both sides with the rub. Let them marinate the refrigerator for 30 minutes while you prepare your grill.
- Prepare your grill for 350-degree F cooking with both a direct and indirect cooking zone. Grill the lamb on indirect heat for 20 minutes per side, or until an internal read thermometer reads 140 degrees F.
- Grill the lamb for another 5 minutes (or until the ribs reach 145 degrees F), meaty side down, to obtain a nice char and caramelization.
- Take the ribs off the grill and finish them with a drizzle of honey to give that “gooey, finger licking good” effect and a hint of sweetness. Place the ribs under an aluminum foil tent for 10 minutes, before slicing and serving.
