Notes

The amount of ribs I use for 4 adult serves is around 1.5kg or 3.3 pounds. I know this probably seems like a lot on paper (??) but a lot of the fat will render out, and they have bones. Also keep in mind that lamb ribs can vary a lot in meat/fat/bone ratio - this may influence the amount you buy and also if you cook them for the full 1 ½ hours or not.
I use low fat greek yoghurt for the dressing (watching my fat intake, ha!) but feel free to use full fat.
My rimmed baking sheet is about 2 ½cm or 1" deep - this is plenty. I place two cake racks (right side up) overlapping inside the pan to provide my "trivet" or baking rack for the ribs to bake on. The cake racks only have about 1cm/ ½ inch legs, but this is enough to let the fat drain away.
