Ingredients

Method
  • For the marinade, mix:
  • 1⁄4 cup canola oil
  • 3 T brown sugar
  • 1⁄4 cup naartjie or clementine juice
  • 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
  • 1⁄2 t ground ginger
  • 1⁄2 t Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 T soya sauce
  • (about 1 kg) free-range lamb ribbetjies 18
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • baked sweet potatoes, for serving
  • cabbage slaw, for serving

1. Marinate the ribbetjies overnight or all day. Arrange in a single layer on a rack in a roasting pan lined with baking paper.

2. Pour over the marinade. Bake at 170°C for 1 hour.

3. Tip the ribs into the pan and remove the rack. Turn the ribs around in the pan, then bake for a further 15 minutes or longer until very tender, well browned and sticky. Season to taste. Serve with baked sweet potatoes and slaw.
