Taanayel Ecolodge – Huge thank you to Fadi from Taanayel Ecolodge (https://goo.gl/maps/EDp5p7nSiABrf5qi7), for hosting us for what is undoubtedly one of Lebanon’s or even the world’s greatest meat experiences. Fadi has truly perfected the art of roasting a whole lamb bbq, from the way he cuts and skewers it, to the marinade, to the roasting technique, to perhaps the most genius of all – how he chops it up with spices, mixing and matching meat with fat, and feeds it to you! #Lebanon #LebaneseFood #bbq

It all began at Taanayel Ecolodge one beautiful afternoon. We started with the whole fresh lamb, where Fadi began making cuts to hold in the marinade and so the roast would be even. One of the most unique parts of this experience was having Fadi slice up the raw testicles, and eating them in a bit with sweet pepper and mint.

Marinade – The marinade was a combination of yogurt and spices, including lots of sumac, and not totally sure what else. He rubbed lemon and the marinade all over the lamb before covering it in foil and lighting the fire. Fade mentioned to me that the secret was in the hand roasting of the lamb – not using a machine to roast evenly – he said a lamb is not even, so you need a human to roast and turn to even out areas that need more heat and less heat. He’s mastered it.

Hours later, the meat was caramelized, yet juicy and tender on the inside. Probably the most interesting, unique and amazing technique is when the lamb is ready, he slices of strategic part of the lamb, including mixtures of meat and fat, and chops them together, mixes with lemon juice, sumac, salt, and pepper, wraps each bite of meat in bread, and feeds you.

Fadi told me he’s even fed the President of Lebanon!

It was truly some of the best single bites of meat I’ve ever had in my life. Unbelievable combinations, spices, and flavors. It was a once in a life-time bbq whole lamb experience.

  1. Being of Palestinian decent, I found this video extremely satisfying. Thanks a lot Mark, for taking me on a trip to see people of similar decent and how their culture is similar to mine, even being a second generation American.

  2. So what I learned from these videos about Lebanese people: they are loud like Italians, looking like Greeks, eating like Turkish, salute each other with kisses like French and they are Arabs.

  3. Hello Mark.. I have been watching ur videos since long. Nice to see u with a fantastic video having lovely people around you. Would love to see u again in Pakistan.. lot of love to ur son.. he is growing up quickly ? keep smiling n keep winning hearts ?

  4. You are Blessed to meet wonderful people with amazing traditions and skills. I love it. It is awesome to be welcomed!!!

  5. I think this is my favourite episode, there's nothing better than seeing a master prepare their food, and even better seeing them enjoy people eating their food, one of the best joys in life. The episodes in Pakistan with the Chappli meat patties is also a firm favourite too.

  6. Im Lebanese living abroad and Mark I gotta say! I hate you for this video! I want me some charcoaled lamb!! It’s not fair! Haha, glad you enjoyed it brother
