Spit-roasted lamb (Janjetina s ražnja)

(Spit-roasted lamb, Janjetina na ražnju)

Janjetina s ražnja is a popular Dalmatian dish made by roasting a whole lamb on a spit. It is roasted over an open fire until the skin becomes crispy and golden-brown in color. Before roasting, the lamb can be marinated in oil with fresh herbs, but it is traditionally seasoned only with sea salt.


When the lamb is properly roasted, it is usually served with sliced onions, green onions, or young potatoes, and a few slices of bread.
