Marinate your lamb!
Pastured lamb is lean and full-flavored — a marinade seasons it through, adds moisture, and its acid gently tenderizes the meat while mellowing lamb's natural richness. It makes an especially big difference before grilling chops, steaks, or kebabs.

- 2 racks Queen City Farm pastured lamb Denver ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Rest 10 minutes, then cut between the bones.
Notes
Farm tip: Lamb Denver ribs are fattier and richer than the rack — indirect heat renders them without flare-ups.
Serving suggestion: Serve with a bright herb salad to cut the richness.
