A Primer on Lamb
If you have not cooked lamb before, especially for get-togethers and other occasions, you may wonder whether you can tackle this game. The answer is most certainly yes! However, you should know a few facts about lamb before diving into this recipe for lamb ribs on the grill.
First of all, lamb is another form of red meat, not a white meat. Like all meats, lamb has a high protein content, making it great for people in your crowd who want to increase their protein intake. The fat in lamb helps keep it juicy, especially during slow cooking on a smoker grill.
Lamb has quite a firm texture, kind of like pork or beef. Some people say it has a gamy taste, much like a wild-caught venison or buffalo. But this is very much open to interpretation. Plenty of folks claim they taste a sweetness in lamb that is not present in other red meat varieties.
Although lamb may be a bit more expensive than other meats, it tends to have very little waste. Plus, when you cook lamb ribs on the grill, you can be sure everyone will clean their plates!
