Ingredients

Brown-Sugar Bourbon Lamb Ribs

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (see note)

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

Radish Salad

  • salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

Directions

Prepare the Brown-Sugar Bourbon Lamb Ribs

1.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).

2.

Combine brown sugar, tomato paste, garlic, bourbon, soy sauce, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, salt, and pepper in a small saucepot. Bring to a simmer and cook five minutes until smooth and thick. Place ribs in a baking dish and cover with sauce. Cover tightly and bake for two to two and a half hours or until extremely tender.

3.

Cut the radishes extremely thinly (I use the slicer on my box grater to do this quickly and easily) and combine with greens. Season with lemon juice or sumac and oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

4.

Lay the ribs on a platter. Top with radish salad.

Tips:

I use chili garlic sauce from Huy Fong Foods, found right next to sriracha in my grocery store. It’s pretty potent raw but mellows out big time when cooked. This recipe doesn’t end up spicy at all; it has just a very subtle hint of heat. For spice
lovers, add up to 1/4 cup chili garlic sauce to this recipe!

Notes:

Some butchers cut riblets from lamb breast, which can end up with many small bones in each “riblet,” so specify lamb spare ribs if you aren’t sure.
