• Here at Cocavo, we love NZ Lamb.

    We particularly love Lamb ribs, as this is one of the most delicious ways of eating lamb. Choose any style of ribs or chops that you prefer – anything will be delicious!

    Everyone who’s eaten these has said they’re the best spareribs they’ve ever had which is a big claim given how Kiwi’s love pork ribs.

  • Maintaining the flavour of the meat is very important for obvious reasons, so don’t coat them in a glaze, but give them the scantest covering before they go into the oven.

    And while it might seem unnecessary to use oil, it does help the spices to stick and the ribs to crisp; anyway, so much of the fat drips off into the pan under the rack.

    Even so, lamb ribs are, without question, a fatty cut, but for those of us who love the flavour and the lip-smacking stickiness that this gives, it’s a bonus, not a warning. If you’re a lean-cut kind of a person, these are not for you. Commiserations.

  • INGREDIENTS

    Serves: 6 (depending on how you eat them)

    • 2 teaspoons nigella seeds
    • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
    • 2 teaspoons Cocavo Rosemary Oil
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 2 cloves garlic (peeled and finely grated, or minced)
    • Sea Salt & NY Black Pepper

    • 12 lamb ribs / spare ribs / rack / shoulder chops / chops – the choice is yours.

    METHOD

     

    1. Preheat the oven to 150ºC
    2. Line a large roasting tin with foil and sit a rack on top.
    3. In a bowl, add the nigella and cumin seeds, pour in the oil and soy, and add the garlic. Stir to combine.
    4. Baste the ribs, one by one, in this mixture, so that they are lightly coated on both sides.
    5. Arrange the ribs on the rack above the lined baking tin and cook in the oven for 1½–2 hours (they can differ in size), or until the fat on the ribs is crisp and the meat tender.
    6. Arrange on a warmed platter, season with salt & pepper as required.
