About

Easter is one of the most important celebrations in Macedonia. It is common for each family to roast a whole lamb on a spit. My family did this every year and was an incredible tradition to grow up with. Spit-roasting lamb is a very involved process and actually not one that I am really skilled at. This recipe is great for smaller gatherings and an easier way to enjoy lamb. I make it for Easter but you could make it for any special occasion.
