Lamb spare ribs with méchoui flavours - Travers d’agneau façon méchoui

Le méchoui, or kharouf machwi in Arabic, is a traditional north African way of slowly roasting a small animal (goat, sheep or lamb), flavoured with spices and basted constantly, over a wood fire on an open spit.

It is a popular way of feeding the multitudes at large French summer gatherings. This is my quick-fix version.

Serves 4-5
