Ingredients
- 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
- Season the lamb by mixing the salt and ras el hanout in a bowl, then evenly sprinkling over both sides of the lamb ribs.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake the ribs in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours until tender.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once done, remove from the oven, place on a platter, and garnish with chopped mint and pomegranate arils.
