Method

  1. Preparing the meat

    If using fresh lamb, rub it with salt or cure it in a salt brine, then leave it to rest.

  2. Covering with liquid

    Place the meat in cold water, using just enough to cover it, and slowly bring it to the boil.

  3. Cooking

    Simmer gently for about 40 minutes per kilogram, which makes the meat tender and easy to slice.

    60 min
  4. Cooling in the stock

    Take it off the heat and leave it to cool in its stock, which keeps the stock and its smoky flavour.

  5. Making the uppstúf

    Melt the butter, sprinkle over the flour, then slowly pour in the milk. Simmer gently for about 20 minutes, then season with salt, sugar, pepper and nutmeg.

    20 min
  6. Preparing the side dishes

    Boil the potatoes and gently reheat the green peas.

  7. Serving

    Slice the meat thinly and serve with boiled potatoes, uppstúf and peas. It can also be served cold with rye bread.
