I’ve served them with pa muchim, a spring onion salad which is a refreshing side dish to the slightly greasy and sticky lamb ribs.

Instructions
- For the marinade, place all the ingredients in a food processor with 125 ml (½ cup) water and blitz into a smooth loose paste.
- Place the lamb ribs in a large bowl, pour over the marinade and use your hands to massage into the ribs well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Heat a charcoal barbecue or a chargrill pan over high heat until and grease with a little oil.
- Drain the riblets, reserving the marinade. Place the riblets on the grill and cook for 2 -3 minutes on each side, brushing both sides with the marinade as they cook. Turn once more for 30 seconds to finish cooking the marinade and remove from the heat. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the pa muchim, cut the spring onions into 15 cm batons. Cut the batons in half lengthwise then slice into long thin strips. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain the spring onions well and place in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix well until the sugar has dissolved. Taste and season with salt if required.
- Sprinkle the lamb riblets with sesame seeds and serve immediately with the pa muchim.
