About Lamb on spit

Lamb on spit, a traditional delicacy with roots in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Balkan cuisines, is prepared by slow-roasting marinated lamb on a rotating spit over open flames or coals. This cooking method enhances the meat's flavor while preserving its tender texture. Lamb is a nutrient-rich protein source, providing essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, it is also relatively high in saturated fat, depending on the cut, which may not be ideal for heart health if consumed excessively. The marinade often includes olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, which can add antioxidants and flavor without added sugars. Pairing lamb on spit with fresh vegetables, whole grains, or salads can balance its rich profile, making it a hearty but health-conscious choice within a varied diet.
