LAMB RIBS
Serves 4
4 slabs Denver lamb ribs (6 to 7 bones each), trimmed
1 TB onion salt
1 TB garlic salt
1 TB dried parsley
2 ts herbes de Provence
1 ts black pepper
1 ts kosher salt
Olive oil
To prep the ribs, trim any excess fat and remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Combine the onion salt, garlic salt, parsley, herbes de Provence, pepper, and salt and blend well. Rub the ribs with olive oil and season all over. Place on a plate, cover, and let rest for 30 to 60 minutes to an hour.
To grill the ribs, cook over medium coals for 45 to 60 minutes, turning every 10 to 15 minutes and taking care not to burn them. To barbecue the ribs, cook with indirect heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, turning every 45 minutes. Serve with Jacke Stack sauce or your favorite barbecue sauce on the side.
