Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 kg (2 pounds) lamb ribs

Spice Blend

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

Other Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Dry the Ribs: Pat the lamb ribs dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps the spice rub stick better.
  2. Prepare the Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
  3. Apply the Rub: Evenly rub the spice blend all over the ribs on every side to coat the meat thoroughly for deep flavor penetration.
  4. Arrange in Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned ribs in a single layer inside the slow cooker to allow even cooking and heat distribution.
  5. Add Worcestershire Sauce: Pour the Worcestershire sauce evenly over the ribs to add moisture and enhance the savory flavor during cooking.
  6. Optional Olive Oil Spray: Lightly spray the ribs with olive oil if desired to help retain moisture and add a subtle richness.
  7. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat setting for 6 to 8 hours, until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
  8. Rest and Serve: Carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker, let them rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute, then serve with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh lamb ribs and trim excess fat if desired.
  • You can increase the Worcestershire sauce for a saucier finish.
  • Adding a quick sear on a hot pan before slow cooking can enhance the flavor through caramelization.
  • Leftover ribs can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
