W sobotę Amerykanie obchodzili Dzień Niepodległości. Co jedzą tego dnia? Przeczytajcie naszą dzisiejszą propozycję na żeberka jagnięce przyrządzane na barbecue.

Amerykanie w Dzień Niepodległości zazwyczaj jedzą potrawy przyrządzane na barbecue (skrót: BBQ) lub potrawy w barwach narodowych, czyli czerwono-biało-niebieskie. Oto, co przeczytamy w portalu BBC:

It's traditional on the Fourth of July to eat red, white and blue food. Red and white is fine, but there aren't many blue things, blueberries and blue cheese excepted, that are actually edible.

Dzisiaj polecamy Wam żeberka jagnięce przyrządzane na BBQ, ale można je również upiec w piekarniku:

Barbecued lamb ribs

Przepis Neneh Cherry i Andi Olivera

Ingredients
3.6-4.5kg lamb ribs
For the marinade
1 liter cola
85g tomato ketchup
2 tbsp black peppercorns, crushed in a mortar and pestle
1 tbsp cayenne pepper (optional)
350ml bourbon whiskey
165ml maple syrup (or 6 tbsp brown sugar)
3-4 tbsp soy sauce
2 bay leaves
4 large rosemary sprigs
4-5 garlic cloves, crushed or pounded in a mortar and pestle

Method
1. For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl or basin and immerse the ribs in them. Cover with cling film and leave overnight in the fridge, if possible, otherwise marinate for an hour in the fridge.
2. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
3. Baste the ribs with the marinade and cover them with aluminium foil. Precook them in the oven for 20-30 minutes. Otherwise the sweet ingredients (cola and maple syrup) may char on the barbecue.
4. Prepare the barbecue. It should not be too hot - the coals should be grey and ashen, but still have good heat.
5. Place the ribs on the barbecue. Turn them over after about 40 minutes to give the other side some texture. After about 10 minutes, turn the ribs over again.
6. If you like your ribs slightly crisper put them under a preheated grill for about five minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Serve.
These ribs can also be prepared in the oven. Follow the instructions as below, but 30 minutes in the oven, remove the foil and baste several times. Cook for about 1-1½ hours, or until the meat is tender.
