Ancient recipe for roast hedgehog:
Gut one freshly killed hedgehog.
The animal should then be seasoned and prepared for cooking; pressed in a towel until dry, then either encased in clay or wrapped in grasses.
The meat should then be roasted and served with cameline sauce.

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
