Hi guys. Yesterday i went to a local farm and picked out a lamb. After saying a prayer it was slaughtered , skinned , and gutted. Brought it home and dry rubbed it with kosher salt, black pepper , garlic powder , greek oregano, We also cut some slits in the meaty parts and stuffed them with garlic cloves.
I rigged up an old windshield wiper motor and bicycle wheel because my original rotisserie motor broke. It worked like a charm and didn't even skip a beat.
Mesquite lump coal was the fuel of choice today. My mother in law made a brush out of fresh mint, rosemary, and oregano. And i used it to baste lemon juice, olive oil and garlic onto it.
Besides the lamb we had Greek chicken and potatoes, Pastitsio, Ham, Spanakopita. and all kinds of other good stuff. I didn't even get to take too many pictures because everyone swarmed the food. The lamb was a little smaller than it appeared when i picked it out. But the meat that it did have was unbelieveably tender and the the outside was nice and crispy. I'm already thinking about using the rotisserie again. Lol

I could care less if that lamb was staring at me! Fantastic cook and an incredible spread! RAY
Don't get me wrong! I would still eat it with only the slightest hint of hesitation, and that includes trying eyeballs for the first time. I would just feel bad that my wife had left this social event to recover her delicate sensitivities.

It is literally nose to tail cooking with almost zero waste -- always good to see.

I also appreciate the ingenuity used in this redneckian revolving rotisserie!

Wow! That is impressive on all accounts! I’ve had a lot of lamb like this in other countries, but never did it myself. You have me feeling lazy🤔

Very cool thread and ingenuity, tasty looking meal that honored the food provided!

Thank you. However I can't take credit for the ingenuity. I basically saw someone on YouTube do it and just made the same thing. But I'm glad I did because now I'm thinking of a rotisserie turkey for Thanksgiving instead of smoking it this year.
