  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ras el hanout
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds lamb spare ribs, (1 rack) sliced into individual ribs
  • chopped fresh mint, to serve (optional)
  • pomegranate arils, to serve (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Season the lamb by mixing the salt and ras el hanout in a bowl, then evenly sprinkling over both sides of the lamb ribs.
  2. For a dry brine, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, place a rack on top, and refrigerate the seasoned ribs uncovered for 24 to 48 hours.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the ribs directly on the foil-lined baking sheet, cover with another sheet of foil, and crimp the edges to seal.
  4. Bake the ribs in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours until tender.
  5. Prepare the glaze by heating olive oil in a saucepan, then adding garlic and rosemary, cooking until fragrant. Stir in pomegranate molasses, honey, mustard, and salt.
  6. After baking, increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Open the packet of ribs, pour off juices, and brush the ribs with glaze. Roast until browned, then flip and glaze the other side, roasting an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven, place on a platter, and garnish with chopped mint and pomegranate arils.

For a more intense flavor, consider dry brining the lamb ribs for longer than 24 hours.
Using fresh pomegranate arils adds a vibrant touch and delightful texture to the dish.
