~~~ Recipe: Asian baked lamb ribs      Lamb ribs are a wonderful, inexpensive cut for slow cooking.  The fat produces a moist, tender meat when baked slowly in the oven, and the meat has a rich flavor that is very satisfying in cold weather.    Ingredients: * 1 1/2 lbs lamb ribs Marinade: *1 Tbsp brown sugar *1 Tbsp light soy sauce *2 tsp fish sauce (optional - if you don't have, add more soy sauce) *2 tsp oil *1/2 tsp ground coriander *1 clove garlic, finely chopped *1 tsp freshly grated ginger *1/4 tsp salt *1 spring onion *1 Tbsp lemon juice *1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes, optional Sauce: *2 tsp light soy sauce *2 tsp lemon juice *2 tsp fish sauce (optional - if you don't have, add more soy sauce) *2½ tsp brown sugar *1 red chilli, finely chopped, optional *1 tsp minced garlic       Method: 1.Rinse the lamb ribs and pat dry with kitchen papers. Mix with marinade well and put into a plastic bag or container with cover. Refrigerate for 2 - 3 hours.  2.Remove the lamb ribs from the fridge and leave it at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.  3.Preheat oven to 320F.  4.Transfer the lamb ribs with the marinade into a baking tray, with downside (bony side) up. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about an hour and a half. Remove the foil. Flip the lamb ribs so that the meat side is up and continue to bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the surface turns brown. 5.Mix all the ingredients of sauce. Drizzle on top of the baked lamb ribs. Serve immediately.   Tips on making moist baked ribs：To get the best results, use ceramic baking dish instead of metal tray. If using metal tray, it would be better if you add some water with the marinade for baking.    Adapted from Christine's Recipes - http://en.christinesrecipes.com/ Wishing you a good week with lots of good food,   Sincerely, Mike and Judith McGeary                  McGeary Ranch
