Ingredients
- 2 pounds Lamb ribs (French-trimmed, approx. 8-10 pieces)
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 whole Lemon (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Trim the lamb ribs of any excess fat and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the lamb ribs in a large shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all ribs are evenly coated.
Step 4
Cover the dish (or seal the bag) and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Remove the lamb ribs from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.
Step 7
Place the lamb ribs on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness (medium-rare is ideal for tender and juicy results).
Step 8
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the ribs hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your Agnello a Scottadito!
