Spit-roasted baby lamb

Directions

1. The day before you will need to make a pit in your garden (this needs to be about 40cm square).

2. Install the spit on either side of this.

3. About 6 hours before you are going to cook light the fire, add the wood and let it burn down for at lest 1 hour to form embers.

4. Insert the pin of the spit through the lamb.

5. Season liberally inside and out with salt then rub the body cavity with the herbs and stuff with the stuffing (if using).

6. Sew the body cavity closed. Sit the lamb on the spit and add a little wood to the fire (do not add too much, or the fire will be hot).

7. Cook the lamb for about 4 hours, turning constantly, and adding more wood as needed.

8. Cook until the lamb is done through. Remove the pin from the lamb, set on a table and carve.
