Recipe for Stuffed Camel


We were walking along the street past a butcher shop and noticed this camel's head sitting outside.  We wondered what Jordanian dish would call for camel meat?  Then we found this recipe:

STUFFED CAMEL

1 medium camel
4 goats
20 chickens
80 lbs tomatoes
150 boiled eggs
300 olives
100 lbs rice, cooked
20 lbs raisins
10 lbs garlic, crushed
5 lbs pine nuts
Saffron

Stuff 2 olives into each egg, stuff the eggs into the tomatoes, stuff the tomatoes into the chickens, stuff the chickens into the goats, stuff the goats into the camel.  Roast until tender.  Mix last 5 ingredients and shovel onto large serving platter.  Put roasted, stuffed camel on top of rice mixture.  Serves 1 tribe.  This is an Old Bedouin recipe.
