Texelaar Lamb Belly Ribs

These Texelaar lamb belly ribs are a surprising alternative to classic pork ribs. Though smaller in size, they’re big on flavour. The meat is firm and juicy, with a subtle gamey note that’s typical of lamb from the island of Texel. Slow cooking really brings out the best in the fat, allowing it to melt into the meat and create a rich, full taste. Marinate them lightly or keep it simple with just herbs and sea salt, and you’ll have a refined BBQ dish that’s sure to impress any crowd.

What are lamb belly ribs?

Lamb belly ribs are cut from the lower part of the rib cage, just like pork ribs, but naturally from lamb. This section contains narrow ribs with a beautiful balance of meat, fat and bone. Because lambs are young and active, the meat is tender yet firm in texture. These ribs are best cooked low and slow, giving the fat time to render down while the meat becomes wonderfully tender and packed with flavour. The combination of juiciness, fat and bone makes this a truly special cut for the serious BBQ lover.

Texelaar lamb: pure, honest and packed with flavour

Texelaar lamb is renowned as one of the finest types of lamb in the Netherlands. The lambs grow up in the fresh, salty air of Texel, roaming freely across wide meadows and feeding on grass, herbs and sea breeze. This unique mix of diet and environment gives the meat a distinctive, slightly salty taste with real depth. Texelaar lamb has a firm texture and pure flavour, and has been praised for years by chefs and food lovers alike, both in the Netherlands and abroad.
