Articles & Reviews - Roast Leg of Lamb (Steikt lambalæri)
Roast Leg of Lamb (Steikt lambalæri)

The traditional Sunday dinner in Iceland is a roast leg or saddle of lamb with glazed potatoes, green peas and gravy. Through the 20th century, this was served almost every Sunday in many homes.

 

1 leg of lamb, 2.5-3 kg

salt and pepper

1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary

2 tbsp butter or margarine

700 ml stock or water

3 tbsp flour

gravy browning

 

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Trim and season the lamb. Place in a buttered roasting pan, dot with butter and roast for 15-20 minutes. Lower the heat to 160°C. Heat the stock / water and pour into the roasting pan. Roast for an hour or so, until the lamb is done. Baste occasionally and add more water if needed. For the traditional sauce, skim some of the fat from the stock in the roasting pan, mix flour and cold water to make a smooth paste and stir it into the stock. Boil for 5-10 minutes, season to taste and add a little gravy browning. A splash of cream may be added to round out the flavour.
