Easter for my family is huge…and when a meal is being planned you can guarantee that nobody goes home hungry. This year Easter was special, we had my wife’s and Nadia’s family over at my parents. Now there are some foods that are a must for any Easter celebration. This year the center attraction was a 35 lbs lamb! With roasting a lamb there are several pieces that need to be set so that it’s a success. First is to order the lamb. This year we bought the lamb from Mourelatos. The lamb spit was built by Astro Machine Shop (my father-in-laws company). My uncle and aunt came from Vermont to help marinate and sew up the lamb (a very tricky procedure). We started to clean the lamb at 9am to get it on by 10am. We started by cleaning the lamb and marinating the inside. We then put the lamb on the spit, made sure it was secure and placed in on the rotisserie. For a lamb this size it took around 6 hrs.

The marinade for the lamb (whether chops, shanks or a whole lamb) is very important and simple. Mix together Olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. If you are preparing chops or shanks, better to marinate for 24 hrs. For the whole lamb because it’s on the spit, you marinate throughout the 6 hrs. In the end the lamb was amazing, the taste, the smell the look, everything came together.
