Method
- In a bowl, combine dry rub ingredients and mix together. Place lamb ribs in the bowl and massage dry rub into the meat. Cover with cling film and marinate for 30 minutes or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Place into a heavy-based casserole dish and cover with wine, stock, 2 tbsp maple syrup, garlic, onion . Add water until ribs are nearly covered. Cover with foil tightly and the lid, and cook for 3hrs 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and change oven to grill at 200°C. Break up rib racks into 2-3 bones and place into a roasting dish or baking tray without braising liquid. Brush ribs with remaining maple syrup, and place under the grill for 20 minutes until crisp.
- Meanwhile make polenta according to packet and add cheese, and butter.
- Serve ribs on top of polenta with steamed spinach, and broccoli.
