roast lamb ribs For all fans of slow cooker, I prepared a quick and easy recipe from Roasted Rack of Lamb that you can enjoy with ease. Thanks to the old “Set it and Forget it” method, you can prepare this recipe hours in advance and walk away, without a worry in the world, and return to a fancy meal. This is a “well done” recipe and, I don’t mean a pat on the back. I’m talking about being cooked to the end, as should be any roast, minimal ingredients and some vegetables on one side.

Personally, I prefer a pan-scorched lamb rib that I can toss in the oven for 10 minutes or so, but that’s just me. I like my lamb half weird and this recipe just isn’t that. The roast cooks the meat to the end.

The trick is to keep it tender and juicy and a slow cooker does just that. However, slow cookers made these days let out much of the moisturizer directly from the pot and sneak down the sides of the shitty lids they are now making. I firmly believe in trapping moisture there with a heavy glass lid. Some people will simply add water, but, I tell you, you will never get the same results.

This is the first time I used a newer clay pot and I don’t like it. If you’ve noticed recipes I’ve used in the past, I’m using a slow cooker from the 80s, because they’re amazing, but my side handle broke recently, so I thought I’d try the new ones. I’ve been seeing the old Crock Pots, from Rival, popping up in my thrift stores and I think I’m going to start buying them because these new ones suck!

Anyway, you may need to play with roast time, depending on the size of your lamb ribs. I cooked this 1.5 pound rack for 6 hours and it turned out great. Honestly, I just needed sauce but, as I mentioned in the tutorial video, I highly recommend my cherry cake filling that can be used as a topping or icing.
