Ribs recipe fail (!)

BLW ribs recipe fail

This is part 5 of my Half Lamb for Babies series.

Spoiler alert: I decided to not share the BLW ribs recipe on the blog because the taste was off and the texture was too tough.

I guess we all mess up recipes once in a while! This was a real recipe fail.  Our friends ate all the ribs but also had a great laugh because we came to the conclusion that I shouldn’t make these again.

For this recipe, I placed a spice rub on the ribs and baked them in the oven for two hours. In order for ribs to be tender, they need to be cooked for a very long period of time (in a slow cooker for example). When I attempt a slow cooked rib recipe I will post it here.

We were having our best friends over and decided to prepare something out of the ordinary: lamb ribs.  It was a first for us. We have cooked ribs before but not LAMB ribs.

Meanwhile, I did take some pictures of "the making of" the ribs so I'll share those.

I thawed a package of lamb ribs from Ferme Valens. Then, my oldest daughter helped me combine the spices in a small bowl. After, I pat dried the ribs and rubbed the spice mix on all sides. I baked them for one hour at 300F. Then I baked them at 375 for another hour. Here is the final product and perfect portion size for a baby (if it were tender!).
