Using Pure South lamb ribs because the meat is leaner, more tender, and very succulent.

Meat needs to be marinated overnight for the best taste

This special green mashed potato recipe uses whipping cream as its secret ingredient to effortlessly achieve a creamy, consistent and rich texture

The following day, as they roast to perfection, an alchemy occurs within the oven: fibres turning tender, marinades caramelizing into a golden crust, a delectable feast only 30 minutes away from enchantment.

Together, these elements coalesce to create the Green Mash —a velvety base for the succulent ribs, a harmonious blend that's both familiar and thrillingly innovative. Remember, as you garnish with scallion, you're not just plating up a meal; you're adorning a canvas with the rich, edible jewels of your labour.
