METHOD

Mix all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl to combine. Place the lamb ribs in a resealable bag or plastic container and add the marinade, mixing well to coat then cover. Leave to marinate for at least an hour or overnight in the fridge.
Remove the ribs from the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking and season. Preheat a BBQ Grill or frying pan to a medium-high heat. Add the ribs and cook until browned and crunchy on all sides – around 15 to 20 minutes. If you have single ribs they will only take about 10 to 15 minutes.

To serve:
Arrange on a platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley and sesame seeds.
