    INGREDIENTS

    Pear slaw

    • 400 grams shredded coleslaw mix
    • 1 pear thinly sliced
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1 tbsp apple-cider vinegar
    • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp ground pepper

    Ribs

    • 1 cup tomato sauce
    • 3⁄4 cup apple-cider vinegar
    • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
    • 1⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce
    • 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
    • 2 Tbsp. mustard
    • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 2 tsp. lemon juice
    • 2 kg lamb racks

    METHOD

    PEAR SLAW Combine coleslaw, pear, mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard and seasoning in a bowl and toss gently to combine. Set aside until serving.

    LAMB RIBS Combine all the ingredients, except the ribs, in a bowl and mix well. Add the ribs and turn to coat completely in the sauce. Remove the ribs and reserve the sauce.

    HEAT a lightly oiled grill over a high heat and cook the ribs, brushing occasionally with reserved sauce for 15 minutes, turning half way through cooking.

    BRING any remaining sauce to the boil in a small pot over a medium-low heat. Cook for 5 minutes or until thickened, season to taste.

    TO SERVE Slice the ribs into serving-sized pieces and serve with warm barbecue sauce and pear coleslaw salad.

    Lamb ribs are best coked over a low heat for a longer period of time, about 60-90 minutes. This will ensure that the meat is tender and not tough or dry. Cooking the ribs over the grill will give them a smoky, complex flavour, but cooking in the oven will result in a delicious well rounded flavour and even cooking.
