Whole Lamb Roast Rotisserie Style

Your approach to roasting the lamb in our BBQ50 PRO sounds absolutely spot-on! Here's a detailed breakdown to ensure everything goes smoothly for that perfect, succulent roast:

Step 1: Removing the Catinga

• Locate the Glands: These are usually found on the hind legs near the joints. They're small and can impart a strong, bitter flavor if left intact.
• Trim Carefully: Use a sharp knife to remove these glands without damaging the surrounding meat. Rinse the area with cold water once done.

Step 2: Preparing the Lamb

• Brining for Moisture: Prepare a brine solution with hot water, salt, garlic and aromatic herbs like rosemary, thyme, mint and bay leaves.

Step 3: Roasting on the Rotisserie

• Set Up Your Fire: Use low, consistent heat, ideally from hardwood or lump charcoal for a smoky flavor.
• Hydration During Roasting
• Rotate Evenly: Keep the lamb turning slowly to ensure uniform cooking. The process can take 5–7 hours depending on the exact heat and size of the lamb.

Step 4: Enjoy the Process

Roast lamb isn’t just about the end result—it’s about the shared experience of tending the fire, basting, and soaking in the mouthwatering aroma as it cooks.

You’re right—the process is slow but incredibly rewarding. With the catinga gone, a well-maintained brine, and patience over low heat, your lamb is bound to be the centerpiece of an unforgettable meal! Bon appétit! 🐑🔥
