Whole Roasted Mongolian Lamb

　　Whole Roasted Mongolian Lamb

　　A traditional and famous dish of the Mongolian people, specially prepared as a feast to entertain distinguished guests or during major celebrations. Typically, a plump sheep weighing around 40 pounds from the grasslands is selected, slaughtered, and then roasted whole—with its wool removed but skin left on—and stuffed inside with seasonings such as scallions, ginger, pepper, and salt. After roasting, the lamb remains intact in shape, kneeling on a square wooden plate, with a golden-red hue, crispy skin, and tender, fragrant meat.
