Ingredients

Scale

Lamb Ribs

  • 1 kg (2 pounds) lamb ribs

Seasoning Mix

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Additional Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • Olive oil spray (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lamb Ribs: Pat the lamb ribs dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the seasoning stick better and promotes better cooking.
  2. Make the Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well to create an even seasoning.
  3. Season the Ribs: Rub the prepared spice blend evenly over all sides of the lamb ribs, ensuring they are fully coated for great flavor throughout.
  4. Arrange in Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned ribs in a single layer inside the slow cooker to allow for even cooking and maximum tenderness.
  5. Add Worcestershire Sauce: Pour the Worcestershire sauce evenly over the ribs for added moisture and a rich, tangy flavor.
  6. Optional Olive Oil Spray: Lightly spray the ribs with olive oil if desired, which can enhance moisture and the texture of the ribs.
  7. Slow Cook the Ribs: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours until the meat becomes tender and easily falls off the bone.
  8. Rest and Serve: Carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and let them rest for a few minutes to redistribute juices before serving with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • For extra crispy ribs, you can finish them under a broiler for 3-5 minutes after slow cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities to taste or add chili powder for some heat.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the slow cooker to ensure even cooking.
  • Leftover ribs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
