Congrats on being able to run a barbeque in London: the weather is so often against it, We did a simple one here, cremating burgers and sausage for the girlies.

A song for DT


"who ate all the lamb?
who ate all the lamb?
You fat bastard,
you fat bastard,
Who ate all the lamb?"


Thankyou :lol:

You'll need a minimum of 4 hrs.

Assuming you have bought the necessary equipment of pit and extended souvla with hooks attached this is what you need to do.

First things first, season the lamb with plenty of coarse salt and pepper. I like to baste it with a home made brush made out of rosemary twigs and dipping it in oil, lemon, oregano, salt blended.

Insert the souvla via the arsehole of the lamb and out from its mouth.

Now this is the most important part of the process, You MUST STABILISE THE SPINE OF THE ANIMAL ON THE SOUVLA. There are specialist screws you can apply that attach the souvla onto the spine however if you don't have any then thick wire passed around the souvla, out the lambs back and then back in again to be twisted around the souvla and the spine together. DO this in about 2-3cm intervals on the animals spine.

If the lamb is lose or a little shaky on the souvla you won't eat. The spine will crack half way while cooking and you will be pissed off and embarrassed. (This happened on my first one.....I'm on number 32 now..yes I keep track)

fill the belly with rosemary twigs and sew it up with the wire. Finally cut a few slits in the lamb's thights and insert a few garlic cloves with salt in them.

Tie the legs onto the hooks on the souvla with the wire.

Prepare your charcoal. There should be no lit charcoal directly underneath the belly of the lamb. It should all be at the front and back of the pit. The belly is extremely thin and can burn easily.

Baste frequently (every 10 mins or so) and start drinking.

Keep topping up the charcoal with a nearby foukou. You'll need about 2 refills.
