• 4 tsp kosher Salt
• 2 tsp black pepper, fresh cracked
• 2 T extra virgin olive oil

• ¼ C brown sugar
• ¼ C sherry vinegar
• 1 each cinnamon stick
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

Apple and Bok Choy Slaw
• 2 heads bok choy, julienne
• 1 each Granny Smith apple, peeled and sliced thin
• ½ each red pnion, sliced very thin
• 2 T brown sugar
• 2 T apple cider vinegar
• 2 T mayonnaise

Preparation

Port Wine Mop
In a small stainless sauce pan bring to a boil the port wine, brown sugar, sherry vinegar, cinnamon stick, and fresh ginger. Lower heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes.

Let cool to room temperature.

Apple and Bok Choy Slaw
Begin the slaw by combining the brown sugar and cider vinegar. Whisk in the mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the bok choy and apple.

Lamb Ribs
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. (Or, preheat a chargrill.)

Trim excess fat from the lamb ribs.

Rub the lamb with the garlic, orange zest, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Slow cook the lamb in the oven for 2 hours, covered. You can add a touch of water to the pan to keep from scorching on the bottom. Remove, turn, and cook another 30 minutes.
When the ribs are tender either transfer to a chargrill or set the oven to broil and set the ribs on the lowest rack.

Mop the ribs with the port wine mixture. Do so every 1 minute if on the chargrill, or every 30-45 seconds under the broiler. When the ribs are thoroughly glazed remove them from the oven and serve with the bok choy slaw. Enjoy!
