- In a large mixing bowl pour the marinade over 2 kilos lamb ribs and mix using your hands till the ribs are properly coated. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour*.
- Arrange the ribs in a roasting pan in a single layer and bake for 30 minutes, turning them ¾ of the way through cooking, then increase the heat to 200°C fan/400°F for the remaining 5-10 minutes. The ribs are done when they have browned and the meat comes away from the bone easily with a fork.

Notes
- Lamb - Trim off most of the fat, remove the membrane and cut into single ribs.
- Pul biber - If you can't find any or have run out, use a mixture of equal portions of cayenne pepper, smoked and sweet paprika.
- Cover and marinate for a minimum of 1 hour. If keeping in the fridge bring to room temperature again before cooking.
- The ribs can be prepared in the oven, outdoor grill or bbq.
- Oven - arrange the ribs in a single layer so they cook evenly, without overlapping then turn three-quarters of the way through cooking.
- Slow roast then turn the heat up to brown the exterior.
- Outdoor grill/bbq - cook till browned then remove from the heat to let them rest for around 10 minutes, they will continue cooking on the inside for a while.
- Store leftovers in a closed container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
