Kazuo roast whole lamb

Roasting whole sheep, also known as "roasting whole sheep" and "Zhaomu" in Mongolian, is a traditional and unique Mongolian banquet. The reason why roast whole sheep is famous is that it has a set of special roasting methods, except for the good quality of mutton. Roasted sheep should be made of four-toothed, three-year-old sheep, which is fat and strong and weighs about 40 Jin. When slaughtering, the method of grasping the heart must be adopted: cutting from the sheep's chest, putting your hand into the sheep's cavity, and pinching its heart to death. The sheep killed by this method will not bleed a lot, and its meat is particularly delicious. Sheep don't need to be skinned after slaughter. First, hang the front legs and gut them, remove the five internal organs and enter the water, wash the chest and abdominal cavity, then scald the wool with boiling water, and wash the sheepskin with alkaline water. Put all kinds of condiments in the chest of the sheep, with the limbs up and the back down, hang them upside down with chains and bake them in the furnace. The oven is specially made for special use. It is made of bricks to form a vault. The oven is burned red, the fuel is removed, the whole sheep are hoisted in from the skylight of the oven, and the skylight and oven door are closed. By using the high temperature in the oven, the mutton is cooked until it is half-cooked, and then the oven door is opened. The chef uses a long-handled spoon, scoops up the fire blocks of firewood, and bakes the sheep until it is brown. With this slow fire roasting, the seasoning flavor in the belly of the sheep can gradually penetrate into the mutton, and at the same time, the mutton can be cooked thoroughly. After roasting, the mutton soup and seasoning in the abdominal cavity are first taken out of the oven, and the whole sheep is placed in a large plate with a diameter of about 1 meter in a kneeling position. After serving, the sheep is cut into small pieces by a special person in front of the guests and delivered in turn according to the identity of the guests. Kazuo Hotel in Kazuo County is a must for roasting whole sheep. After roasting, the shape of the sheep is complete, the sheep kneels in a square wooden plate, the color is golden red, the sheepskin is crisp and the mutton is tender and fragrant.
