Lamb, it sounds extremely intimidating to cook well but here we have a recipe to keep it simple! This recipe you can use if you ever ever wanted to make some ribs with an incredibly easy wine sauce. There are just a handful of ingredients and most of the time you are just sitting around drinking your wine while the meat cooks.
Ideally you can cook these on the grill but if you don’t have access to a grill this recipe works in the oven as well! While this recipe takes a couple hours, most of it is just having it cook on the grill while you relax. All of the ingredients are common and you shouldn’t have to go shopping for too much! You can also score your meat to make it even better.
How do you score meat? Make shallow cuts against the grain of the meat and then make cuts the other direction. Only make the cuts 1/8 to 1/4 inches deep. Why do you score the meat? It isn’t completely necessary but it will help tenderize the meat and allow your marinades and spices to penetrate better.
