Savory Greek Country Lamb Ribs – Tasty Greek Food in Columbus, OH

While working with lamb and serving great dishes like Lamb Chops and Lamb Shanks in my Columbus, OH, Greek food restaurant, all these years, I realized that lamb is a special kind of meat when cooked right. The flavor is outstanding especially when seasoned with Greek spices that bring the flavor out even more. Lamb is much healthier for you than beef, and while recommended by a lot of doctors over beef, the real reason for eating it is the enjoyment of its flavor. This type of lamb, when served this way, it is definitely a delicacy and it is appreciated by the patron that is consuming it!

I have decided to serve lamb a little differently and call it my own! No one in the city is serving it and especially not this way! This lamb cut is made especially for me (Yianni) and our Columbus, OH Greek Food restaurant and it is a special cut through the butcher. It is our very own Greek Country Lamb Ribs. It is tender and hand-rubbed with a secret blend of Greek herbs and spices formulated just for this dish, then baked for three hours, and served with a side of our special sauce. It also comes with our garlic mashed potatoes and vegetable of the day. Each slab is 7-8 ribs – a minimum 20 oz slab before cooking – and is served as a meal, or get 4 ribs – a 10 oz slab – served as an appetizer and loaded with meat and much flavor.

Papa’s Lamb Chops

Australian Lamb Chops is what we use for this recipe. Marinated for 48 hours with garlic, oregano, little pepper, salt for flavor and olive oil, that makes all the difference. Char-grilling them is the cherry on top for this delicious Greek meal. It is not Greek food unless it has all this flavor. Set on a bed of Saffron rice and some mixed vegetables cooked with a little butter and salt for flavor. On the side I like to use the lemon dill sauce. It just brings them out like you would not believe. This is usually a Greek Restaurant‘s most expensive entree and it needs to be graded that way.  This should be inluded in any Authentic  Greek menu.

Lamb with a Greek Baaam!!

This is a traditional dish among Greeks. Lamb Shanks rubbed with olive oil, garlic and oregano and then slow cooked for over 51/2 hours. It is fall off the bone tender! It must be braised at no more than 300 degrees.  It must be covered the whole time while in oven and the last 30 minutes it can be uncovered to pick up some color. Some oven potatoes or Saffron rice would be appropriate and a side of lemon dill sauce.  A great Greek restaurant is tested by its lamb dishes first and then the other Greek food that it would boast. This is definitely a family feast for the holiday. Do not forget the baklava!
