Ingredients

Lamb Ribs
  • 1kg Quality Mark lamb ribsi

    for best results, use single cut ribs
  • 75g Rum and Que 'Ram Rod' BBQ Rub

  • Rum & Que 'Slap It On' Mustard

    enough to coat the ribs
  • 20g butter

Glaze
  • ¾ cup Rum & Que 'Meat Juice'

  • 1 Tbsp mint jelly

Method

Prepping the ribs
1

Place lamb ribs in a large baking dish or sheet pan fatty side up.

2

Evenly rub the mustard onto the fatty side of all the ribs.

3

Then coat the ribs with a dry rub, making sure that they're evenly covered.

4

Turn the ribs and repeat, ensuring that all sides of the ribs are coated.

5

Once done, set aside in the fridge for an hour, pulling them out an hour before cooking to come to room temperature.

Barbecuing the ribs
1

Heat an outdoor BBQ for indirect grilling, aiming for 450°F/230°C, alternatively you can use an oven on fan bake.

2

Note: To achieve indirect heat on a gas BBQ, light half the burners on one side and place the ribs on the non-lit side. For a coal BBQ, heat coals and place in a circle in the middle of the BBQ, leaving a 15-20cm ring around the edges of the grill. This is where the lamb will be placed.

3

Place individual lamb ribs on the grill and cook till they become slightly charred, about 35-40 minutes..

4

Take the ribs off the BBQ and stack the ribs in the centre of a large tin foil sheet.

5

Place butter on top of the ribs and wrap tightly in tin foil before putting them back in the BBQ or oven.

6

Cook the wrapped ribs for another 30-40 minutes until tender.

7

Unwrap and check for tenderness, they should be very soft and the fat should be rendered nicely.

The glaze
1

Put the ribs into a large bowl and drizzle 'Meat Juice' BBQ sauce over and toss to combine.

2

Alternatively, before unwrapping the ribs, place ½ a cup of meat juice and 1 teaspoon of mint jelly into a pan and warm through so the mint jelly melts and combines fully with the sauce.

3

Serve on a plate fully covered in the sauce.
