Yellow rice with Roast Lamb Ribs on a bed of Hierloom Tomatoes and Carrot salad
It is a very busy month for me, when the challenge of KBB came, it didn’t just came like that but came with surprise… that the challenges are also competitions, because this month is the first anniversary for KBB.
Although I didn’t join KBB since the very beginning, but the group is very dear to me, full with warm hearted and talented people.
This time with theme “colourful”, Our host launched 3 competitions: cooking, baking and photography. I choose only cooking competition, because I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately and neglected my first passion, cooking… (psst…my other reason is actually I had to pick my battle, most of KBB members are professional bakers and dare I to compete with my pocket bridging camera with award winning members with their DSLR? LOL… guess not… run..run away), so this is for the love of cooking and KBB !!! 😀
The event is hosted by the Chief, her self and Dewi Oni (non-blogger), for cooking competition judge by mbak Ine and mbak Estherlita.

*Tips: For preparing vegetable salad, first of all mix the tomatoes and carrots( they take longer to absorb dressings) first with dressing, then the rest of the veggies.

Directions
- Marinate ( leave the lemon skin in the bowl) lamb with all ingredients for min. 2 hrs (over night for best result).

- Lay aluminium foil over a baking sheet, arrange the ribs (take out the lemon skin), close the foil covering all the meat, bake for 12-15 mins.
- Open up the foil, roast (with upper fire) for another 8-10 mins to achieve crunchy meat surfaces
