Oven-Roasted Spanish Lamb Spare Ribs
Spanish lamb spare ribs with a simple garlic and smoked paprika rub, slow-roasted then finished hot for a caramelized crust.
Holiday entertaining
Centerpiece roasts, slow shoulders, and the dishes that anchor a long table.
Holiday cooking is a rehearsal for hospitality. The big cuts (prime rib, leg of lamb, whole turkey, crown roast) reward planning more than skill — salt early, cook low, rest long, slice with confidence. The dishes here are the ones we cook for our own families: showpieces with margin, and the side dishes that earn their place on the plate.
