OVEN-ROASTED LAMB RIBS

• Wash ribs thoroughly. Soak in a large bowl of water, changing the water every 30 minutes, to remove excess fat, about 2 hours. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Mix lemon juice, molasses, vinegar, mustard, ketchup, cinnamon, curry powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large, deep bowl.
• Combine onion, tomatoes, sweet peppers, parsley, garlic, and cayenne pepper in a food processor; pulse to form a paste.

• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a rack on top. Arrange ribs on the rack.
• Bake ribs in the preheated oven until fat has rendered and meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cover ribs with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED OR BROILED LAMB RIBS

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or wood fire, or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the fire should be only moderately hot, and the rack should be at least 4 inches from the heat source. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Add the lamb, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Drain ribs. Grill or broil them for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice and sprinkling them with a little salt and pepper. Meanwhile, process the honey, mustard and onion in a blender until smooth.
• When ribs begin to brown, brush them with sauce, and continue to cook, watching so they do not catch fire. When they are brown and crisp all over - in about 10 to 15 minutes - remove from grill, and serve.
