Méchoui

Méchoui or meshwi is a whole sheep or lamb spit-roasted on a barbecue in Maghrebi cuisine. The word comes from the Arabic word šawā. This dish is common in North Africa. In Algeria and Morocco, the term méchoui "refers to the method of cooking a lamb or a sheep cooked whole on the spit". In Tunisia it applies to any piece of meat or fish grilled with embers.
