Hot and Fast Lamb Ribs

Looking down on a two-zone grill with charcoal on one side and the lamb ribs on the other cooler side.

Hot and fast lamb ribs are a simple recipe that requires very little work but tastes delicious. Use your favorite dry rubs and a drizzle of honey to finish for a sweet element and gloss to the meat.

Be on the lookout for flare-ups while grilling, the lamb fat dripping onto the plate can easily ignite. Using the cool zone helps with this but doesn’t eliminate it. Some grill grates can help reduce flareups touching the meat.

Serve these ribs as the main with your favorite side dish. Grilled vegetables, homemade bread, or a tasty rice or grain dish are options in winter. Salads and green vegetables work well in the summer.
