Ingredients

  • ¼ cup malt vinegar
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes, optional
  • salt and black pepper
  • 2 x 6 rack lamb ribs
Mint sauce
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup malt or white vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • ½ cup mint leaves, finely chopped, plus extra leaves to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan-forced. Place the malt vinegar, cumin, coriander, sugar and chilli in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
  2. Rub the ribs with the spice mixture and place (skin-side up) on a large roasting tray lined with baking paper. Cover with foil and cook for 2 hours.
  3. Remove the foil, increase the heat to 220°C and cook for 10 minutes or until the ribs are dark golden and caramelised.
  4. For the mint sauce, combine the sugar, vinegar and garlic in a small saucepan over high heat.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat, set aside to cool slightly and add the mint.
  6. Slice the lamb ribs and sprinkle with extra mint leaves. Serve with the mint sauce.
