It is truly cliche to call this dish delicious, of course it is!
Let me tell you, this dish is delicious! Did I say that already?! Sorry, I know I’m laboring on a point but jeez Louise Roast Lamb Denver Ribs are a delight. Aside from their tasty wonderfulness, they are super easy to create. All that is needed is some coarse salt, fresh ground black pepper, rosemary, garlic and a little olive oil.
The robust flavors of this dish go very well with a drink in the other hand. A glass of Pinot Noir or Rioja Reserva are great pairings. Moreover, a very dry martini is also a nice tipple with this dish. The martini’s clean finish will not encumber the lamb, in fact it might be exactly what is needed if the plan is to partake in few drinks.
Lamb Denver Ribs can be bought as a whole rack or pre-cut into riblets. Avoid buying them pre-cut as cooking them in this way invites the opportunity for dry ribs, the finished dish should be juicy with crispy golden edges
