Unusual methods for cooking meat.
There are so many onusual methods of cooking meat killing a sheep that is not matured and roasting it with a lot of Irish pepper could sort it and makes it taste better in my family adding as so many spices as possible to the meat to make it taste good.

This taste good when you practice it in a home that love it so much in my home it is good for every body that is why we enjoy killing young sheep.

Roast sheep on an ash was sort of traditional in our place during childhood and the way my dearest dad prepared it, was something our family of one looked forward to. That was, until one Sunday we found ourselves without electricity and gas, which meant no cooking.

I made a plan:
The meat, a large leg of sheep she prepared with spices, the next night before was well stuffed with lots of garlic, and placed on a large piece of tin foil. This in turn she placed in an old deep, traditional, metal roasting dish, which had a lid that fitted snug on top.

I then peeled and cut a few onions up in rings, washed and sliced few green peppers and spread it over the top of the lamb with few mushrooms cut into small pieces as well.

With that she placed five large unpeeled carrots and two large unpeeled potatoes on the sides and on top, added a little oil over the lot, before covering and sealing the contents with the tin foil overlapping from the sides of the roasting dish,

Surprisingly dad then asked one of the boys to tie the lid secure to the base with five pieces of blue rope, around the sides and center of it.

After which we had to dig a 1.4 meter, deep hole in the garden, about 1.4 meter square and filled it with all kinds of old woods, chopped wood, tree branches paper and cardboard.

We kept fueling it until at least half of the hole had a mixture of red coals and burning wood, before adding a bag of anthracite.

Finally the roasting dish was placed on top of the fire, and then covered with soil until the lid was well covered. It smoldered and trapped the heat inside for six hours before dad finally gave word that the food was ready to eat.

What a meal! The best we have ever enjoyed and will remain our home secret; well until today. Delicious.
