Ingredients
Scale
Lamb Ribs
- 1 kg / 2 pounds lamb ribs
Spice Blend
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Additional
- ¼ cup / 60 ml Worcestershire sauce
- Olive oil spray (optional)
Instructions
- Dry the ribs: Pat the lamb ribs dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring the spice rub adheres well.
- Prepare the spice rub: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
- Apply the rub: Evenly rub the spice blend over all sides of the lamb ribs to coat fully.
- Arrange in slow cooker: Place the seasoned ribs in a single layer inside the slow cooker, making sure they are evenly spaced.
- Add Worcestershire sauce: Pour the Worcestershire sauce evenly over the ribs to impart flavor and moisture during cooking.
- Optional oil spray: Lightly spray the ribs with olive oil if desired, to add extra moisture and a slight sheen.
- Cook low and slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat is falling off the bone.
- Rest and serve: Carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker, let them rest a few minutes to retain juices, then serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider searing the ribs in a hot pan before slow cooking to develop a caramelized crust.
- If desired, increase Worcestershire sauce quantity slightly for more saucy ribs.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker model.
- Leftover ribs can be reheated covered in the oven or microwave.
- Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
