Preparation

  1. Lamb spareribs

    • Mix all the ingredients, except for the spare ribs, in a bowl.
    • Put the ribs in a large pan; pour over the marinade, cover and leave to marinate for 12 hours in the refrigerator.
    • Cook the spareribs on low heat until they are just done. Check regularly: the meat should be tender and soft but it shouldn't fall of the bone. Remove the ribs from the pan and leave to cool.
    • Reduce the marinade until 400 ml of liquid. Put through a sieve and keep aside.

    • Bell pepper dressing

      • Remove the skin of the bell peppers with a vegetable peeler, clean them and chop into pieces. Cook in a little water until tender and blend smooth.
      • Bring the pepper puree to the boil with the marinade, the orange juice and the ketchup. Reduce by half. Leave to cool and whisk in the olive oil.
      • Season with salt and pepper.

      • Sweet and sour vegetables

        • Finely dice or thinly slice the beetroots and the carrots.
        • Bring the vinegar to a boil with the sugar, the shallots, the thyme and 150 ml of water and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
        • Pour the hot mixture through a sieve over the vegetables and leave to cool.

      • Before serving

        • Mix the pickled beetroot and carrots with the gherkins and silver onions.
        • Cut the ribs into serving portions and serve with the dressing and the sweet and sour vegetables. Garnish with rocket cress.
