The rich Caucasian cuisine is replete with various meat delicacies, but guests are treated there not with pork chops and not “chicken tobacco”. Any housewife in the Caucasus knows how deliciously to fry lamb ribs in a pan so that they, having been saturated with their own juice, become fragrant and tender.
This famous treat is prepared exclusively from fresh young lamb meat with herbs and lots of finely chopped onions.
Many deny themselves the pleasure of tasting the favorite dish of the hospitable inhabitants of the Caucasus because of the specific smell of lamb.
However, if you take the meat of a young lamb and use spices in its preparation (without which it is impossible to imagine the traditional cuisine of the highlanders), then the aroma of the dish will certainly cause a desire to taste it.
After reading the title of our today's post, some housewives will immediately decide to replace lamb with pork or another type of meat - they say that lamb in our latitudes is not so easy to get. But we strongly recommend that you do not do this, but throw all your strength into the search for lamb meat.
After all, using our recipes and tips on how to fry lamb ribs at home in a pan until tender, you will get not only a tasty, but also a very healthy treat.
There is almost no harmful cholesterol in lamb meat, but there are a lot of valuable components in it. So, rich “deposits” of iron are what you need to improve blood composition, and mutton fat is an effective remedy against viruses.
The main secret of the most delicious roasted ram ribs in Caucasian style is the age of the animal. So, the younger the lamb, the more tender the meat, and the less pronounced the specific flavor in it. It is also important to make the right marinade so that the meat becomes more tender and juicy.
To enhance the piquancy of the marinade, you can still add 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice and meat spice mix to taste. It is sold in the meat departments of supermarkets.
When the side dish (boiled rice or potatoes) is ready, put it on a large dish, and on top - lamb ribs (fried). The ideal addition to the treat is fresh tomatoes and young onion greens. Red table wine is also welcome!
There is not much meat on the ribs, but they are considered the best basis for a meat snack in the Caucasus. And so that the fried ribs do not turn out too dry, we suggest serving them in spicy onion caramel.
Onion for its preparation should not be spared, because it is he who gives a special taste to the treat. It is advisable to cook the dish in a special frying pan, similar to a deep bowl. If there is none, the usual one will do, but with a thick bottom.
To prevent the meat from burning, you need to stir it constantly.
At this stage, the likelihood of burning the product increases dramatically. To prevent this from happening, the contents of the container must be constantly mixed. We do this until the amount of onion juice decreases significantly.
If everything is done strictly according to the recipe, then about 20 minutes after laying the onion, a hearty meat treat will be ready!
There is an opinion that only real highlanders know how to cook delicious meat dishes. But if our Russian woman also decides to fry lamb ribs in a pan with her own hands (using any of our recipes), then they will turn out to be no less appetizing than those of Caucasian housewives.
The main thing is to stock up on fresh young lamb meat, fragrant spices and find a dish for cooking with a thick bottom. And then the success of your dish is guaranteed.
Bon Appetit!

Natalia Very tasty, only I fried a little less than 15 minutes and over low heat. Thanks to Nastya
yell Delicious, only my sauce turned out to be overly sour from pomegranate sauce. And when frying, the ribs became almost black, although they did not burn at all. I then wiped it with a napkin before putting it on plates. I always spit when I cook a dish for the first time ...

Olga Nastya, thank you for the recipe - the ribs go well with Narsharab sauce. It turned out a little harsh, but here apparently you need to look for better quality lamb. But for the first experience with lamb turned out great.

Shish kebab can be prepared from different parts of the carcass, but ribs are best for grilling. In this case, the meat of a young lamb should be used. You can recognize it by light fatty layers.
