Stuffing for the Croatian roast lamb on the spit

I promised you the recipe for the stuffing for the Croatian roast lamb on the spit in one of my previous post. I’m sure not many will attempt to roast the lamb like this (an under-under-understatement!), but here it is, just in case! If you do, you must tell me! 😀

I haven’t had this for ages, but I like it a lot. It contains a mix of structures: soft intestine contrasts with the firmness of prsut (Dalmatian smoked ham similar to Spanish jamon serrano, or Italian Parma ham), all bound together with eggs. It tastes great, too, lamby and salty and hamy…. yum! 🙂

 

 

Stuffing for the Croatian roast lamb on the spit

 

SOURCE: my grandma’s recipe (as reported by mum!)

PREPARATION TIME: 30 min

COOKING TIME (inside the lamb):  2.5 – 3 h

CUISINE: Croatian (Dalmatian)

SERVES: 15*

INGREDIENTS:

• lamb’s intestine, washed and cleaned
• liver
• stomach
• lungs
• 5 – 6 eggs
• 0.5 kg or more prsut
• bread (crust removed)
• salt, pepper, vegeta

METHOD:

• wash the intestine, liver, stomach – everything from lamb’s stomach and boil it for a few minutes
•  when done, drain, and cut into small pieces
•  put in a big bowl and add chopped prsut, 5 – 6 whole eggs (fresh), pieces of bread (crust removed), salt, pepper, vegeta. Add more bread if necessary to make a malleable mixture.  
• mix the ingredients – that’s the stuffing
• stuff the lamb’s belly with the above mixture, and saw it up so it doesn’t fall out.
• Roast the lamb!

 

* On average, use 0.5 kg lamb per person. The numbers here are for a lamb weighing 12 – 15 kg (uncooked).
