A couple of weeks ago we were invited to a Bedouin BBQ by Ramez. Todd met Ramez when Todd came to Jordan 15 years ago. They had lost touch over the years but when we came to Jordan they re-connected. Unfortunately due to work schedules, a new baby, traveling, etc. they haven't been able to see as much as each other as Todd would have liked. And now that we're leaving Jordan the time they see each other will be even less, if ever. Ramez' wife and two children are currently in Canada but Ramez made us this wonderful dinner cooked Bedouin style. First, he buried the dinner underneath the ground in some hot coals:
It was there for a couple of hours and then they started digging it out:
I was surprised how deep it went down when he pulled the food out of the ground.
The meat you see is lamb, a popular meat here. Ramez is a thinker and even though he didn't know that most of my children are not fans of lamb, he also BBQ'd skewers of steak and chicken.
Delicious! Thanks Ramez! We hope our paths will cross again--especially if we get to eat like this!
