Serves 4
Mango Chutney
| INGREDIENTS | Quantity |
| coconut oil | 1 tablespoon |
| fresh ginger | 1 inch piece, minced |
| red bell peppers | 4 tablespoons, diced |
| serrano chile | 1½ teaspoons |
| mango diced | 1½ cups |
| sugar | ¼ cup |
| apple cider vinegar | ¼ cup |
| kosher salt | A pinch |
| juice of a lime | ½ |
| cilantro minced | 2 tablespoons |
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat and add the ginger, bell pepper and serrano chiles. Sauté for 4–5 minutes and then add the mango and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Add the sugar, apple cider vinegar and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook for another 10–12 minutes. You want the mango to start breaking down but not too much. Add the lime, cilantro stir and remove from heat.
American Lamb Ribs
| INGREDIENTS | Quantity |
| American lamb ribs trimmed of fat | 2 racks |
| brown sugar | 6 tablespoons |
| onions | 3 racks |
| fresh thyme | 1 bunch |
Spice Rub
| INGREDIENTS | Quantity |
| allspice ground | 3 teaspoons |
| coriander ground | 2 teaspoons |
| Aleppo pepper | 1 teaspoon |
| smoked paprika | 1 teaspoon |
| cinnamon ground | ¼ teaspoon |
| clove ground | ½ teaspoon |
| ginger ground | 1 teaspoon |
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Combine all the spices and rub all over the lamb racks front and back. Let rest for 20 minutes. While your lamb is resting, take a piece of heavy duty foil, large enough to wrap each lamb rack in separately and place on a sheet pan.Divide the brown sugar and rub 3 tablespoons on each rack front and back. Any seasoning and sugar that fell off the lamb, make sure to add it on the bottom of the foil. Place the lamb rack on top of the foil and lay your green onions and thyme on top. Sprinkle any left over sugar on top and wrap tightly. Repeat with the other rack of lamb.
Cook lamb for 2½–3 hours. A lot of fat should render out. You can either remove from oven, blot excess fat off and cook under the broiler for 2 minutes, or serve right away. Serve with mango chutney.
