Lamb On The Spit for Easter

Author: Rhiannon Peterson  Date Posted:15 May 2024 

Stuck for ideas what to cook this Easter?  Why not give a whole lamb on a spit a try?

Like a lot of Greek families, we typically follow the age-old tradition of cooking a whole lamb on the spit to celebrate most special occasions. There's something memorable about the whole family getting together, ogling over the sight of a full lamb turning for 4 hours over charcoal (trying to pinch that little bit of meat as it turns - without burning yourself!)
