Ingredients

• 2 pounds Lamb riblets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the lamb riblets and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk together to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the lamb riblets to the marinade and massage it into the meat, ensuring the riblets are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).

Step 5

Remove the riblets from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them on the preheated grill.

Step 6

Grill the riblets for 5–6 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.

Step 7

Transfer the grilled riblets to a serving platter and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.

Step 8

Serve hot with your favorite sides or a simple salad for a complete meal.
