Searched for quite a while to find all of the ingredients, finally found banana leaves. Was a bit disappointed with the result after following instructions exactly and cooking covered in a wood fire pizza oven we were left with a moist but pretty bland end product. The marinade just didn't do the trick, did not add any spice and not a lot of flavor either. Used a good piece of lamb from whole foods but again, just not a lot of good flavor out of this. Would try again any maybe change up the marinade. It certainly was fun to make with the banana leaves and I will have hope in Guy's recipes but this one just didn't do it for us.

I recommend being very careful with the banana leaves or lightly steaming them before wrapping as ours were very fragile and ripped easily.

OMH!!! This was the most awesome taco ever!!! Was a real treat with the lamb. Had the crispy yucca hash with it, but had to sub the yucca and sashito pepper. Also couldn't find banana leaves to wrap the lamb. Used parchment paper and it worked okay, but we missed out on the flavor. Being in North Carolina, we don't have easy access to those items as you do in California! Easy peasy to make. Will do again with beef. Thanks!!
