1

Begin at 8 AM with a 14-kilo lamb.

2

Identify the spine and carefully detach the ribs using a knife, making sure to cut close to the bone.

3

Use the knife with the blade facing up to dislocate the ribs from the spine without cutting through.

4

Once the ribs are loosened on one side, repeat the process on the other side.

5

Remove excess fat around the kidneys but leave some for moisture during cooking.

6

Cut the hindquarters in the middle to open them up further.

7

Prepare a cross for grilling, using a 90-centimeter long spit.

8

Attach the lamb to the spit, ensuring it is secured tightly to prevent it from falling during cooking.

9

Massage the lamb with the juice of two squeezed oranges and sprinkle salt over it.

10

Insert some rosemary into the lamb and ensure it is well coated with the orange juice and salt mixture.

11

Tie the hindquarters with wire to secure them and insert a rod through the middle of the lamb to keep it stable while cooking.

12

Prepare the fire using thin wood for kindling and thicker logs on top, ensuring a good flame.

13

While the fire is starting, mix the juice of one orange with half a liter of water and pour it into a spray bottle for hydration during cooking.

14

Monitor the fire, aiming for a moderate flame, and adjust the position of the lamb based on wind direction if cooking outdoors.

15

Use approximately 30 kilos of wood, mixing different types for optimal flavor, avoiding too much quebracho due to its strong tannins.

16

After 30 minutes, begin hydrating the lamb with the orange-water mixture, ensuring it stays moist throughout the cooking process.

17

Position the lamb with the hindquarters facing up to cook evenly, using larger logs to create a barrier to prevent the ribs from burning.

18

Check the heat by placing your hand near the ribs; if it takes 12 seconds to feel the heat, the temperature is good.
