Saudi Arabia's version of Turducken

[lissette]

sooo... seriously.....any suggestions on how u get the camel into your kitchen?
How big is a "medium size" camel? Do they come with numbers like frozen chickens do?

Does anyone know how to skin, trim and clean a camel? How exactly would u boil a camel? Where would u find a tray big enough to serve the camel on?

Last but not least, somehow it just doesnt seem right to stuff a chicken with boiled eggs.....

Anybody got any good recipes for leftover camel?

How long does it take to thaw a camel anyway? I can't find a fresh one at the supermarket...

You know the the Turducken...a Turkey, with some oyster stuffing, then stuffed with a duck, then some corn bread stuffing and then stuffed with a chicken. This must be their version of the Turducken:chef:

Whole Stuffed Camel
In a cookbook called International Cuisine, presented by California Home Economics Teachers, 1983 (ISBN 0-89626-051-8), you will find:
Stuffed Camel
1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
60 eggs
12 kilos rice
2 kilos pine nuts
2 kilos almonds
1 kilo pistachio nuts
110 gallons water
5 pounds black pepper
Salt to taste


Skin, trim and clean camel (once you get over the hump), lamb and chicken. Boil until tender. Cook rice until fluffy. Fry nuts until brown and mix with rice. Hard boil eggs and peel. Stuff cooked chickens with hard boiled eggs and rice. Stuff the cooked lamb with stuffed chickens. Add more rice. Stuff the camel with the stuffed lamb and add rest of rice. Broil over large charcoal pit until brown. Spread any remaining rice on large tray and place camel on top of rice. Decorate with boiled eggs and nuts. Serves friendly crowd of 80-100.
