Method
- 1 Turn the sheep's intestines inside out and rub them repeatedly with salt and lemon, then rinse until the odor is gone.
- 2 Soak the intestines in lemon juice for 1 hour; skipping this step will result in a dish that is too strong to eat.
- 3 Wrap the intestine around a long skewer to form a tight and uniform cylindrical block.
- 4 Grill the cylindrical object on a grill rack away from the heat for 50 minutes, turning it frequently to allow the fat to render out.
- 5 Grilling from a distance and turning regularly is the way to render out all the fat without burning the outside.
- 6 Chop the tomatoes and onions finely on a cutting board with chili powder and cinnamon, then put them in a sandwich with the tomato and onion mixture.
