Once the stones are heated, place them in the pit to cook with steam.

4

Layer banana leaves over the stones to prevent direct contact with the food.

5

Season the lamb with a mixture of rosemary, salt, and ají molido, and make incisions for flavor penetration.

6

Let the lamb rest for about 15 minutes after seasoning.

7

Place the lamb in the center of the pit, followed by the vegetables.

Cover the food with more banana leaves and then with a burlap cloth to keep dirt out.
