Här kommer ett ca recept på hur jag gjorde lammet. Alla kryddorna tog jag bara i allt efter känn och smak. Gör detsamma ni!

Tid i ugn: 1 tim 20 min (för medium rare)
qerwi

Ugn: 180 °C varmluft

Vilotid för lammet: 10-15 min

Ingredienser:

2,2 kg lammstek / Lammekølle / leg of lamb
rapsolja
kanel
citronsaft
1 vitlök  - skalad och skivad i små bitar
frisk koriander - finhackat
flytande honung
rosmarin - hackad
timjan - hackad

Arbetsbeskrivning:

1. Ta lammet ur förpackningen och skär bort nätet om det har något runt sig. Torka det torrt med hushållspapper. Lägg det sedan på en skärbräda.

2. Hacka ned alla friska kryddörter, blanda samman med olja, kanel, honung, citronsaft och blanda ihop i en skål. Salta och peppra. Konsistensen skall inte vara allt för rinnig.

3. Skala och halvera vitlöksklyftan, skiva ned i små bitar och sätt åt sidan.

4. Ta fram en vass kniv och skär ett mönster i fettet på lammet. Salta och peppra lammet rikligt på båda sidor. Lägg de skurna vitlöksbitarna i skårorna fint fördelat över det hela.

5. Ta fram en kniv, stick ned och vrid runt i lammet så at du får ett djup, fyll där i sedan med örtfyllningen du gjort och fördela detta jämt över lammet.

6. Lägg några extra hela timjanskvistar på samt rosmarin.

7. Lammet läggs sedan på det galler du placerat över rotfrukterna. Sätt in  allt i mitten av ugnen på 180 graders ugnsvärme (värmluft) och låt  gå 1 tim och 20 min.

8. När det är färdigt lyft bort lammet och låt vila 15-20 min i folie, linda gärna om en handduk också. Rotfrukterna kan du ställa in i ugnen igen medans lammet vilar.

9. Lammet skall vara medium rare.

10. Ta fram ett fat, lägg de bakade rotfrukterna i botten av det. Skiva lammet i fina skivor och lägg det över. Servera gärna med en god rödvinssås, mint gelé och potatis.

Meat Cooked with Cardamom

The Hindu Sindhis migrated from Sindh to India in 1947 (Sindh is now part of Pakistan) and the largest number of them settled in Bombay, now known as Mumbai. Sindhi food is not found outside Sindhi homes. This is my mother’s recipe and is extremely simple to make, involving just a few ingredients.

A very delicate mutton dish with a thin gravy full of the flavor of cardamom (elachi) and black pepper, this is a favourite  of the Sindhis. Dishes with pepper seem to be a standard prescription in many parts of India for women after childbirth, and in the region around Hyderabad town in Sindh this dish was given every day to new mothers. It is traditionally eaten with chapatis though it is equally good with rice.

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

1 kg lamb, on or off the bone

100 ml full-fat yogurt

35 green cardamoms

100 ml oil

2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon chilli powder

2 teaspoons coriander powder

3 medium tomatoes ( sourish variety), finely chopped

Salt

Method:

1. If the lamb is on the bone, wash it in warm water. Whisk the yogurt with a fork in a bowl.

2. Grind the whole green cardamoms in a blender with a little water, or in a coffee grinder without water and then mix with a little water to make a paste.

3. Heat the oil in a cooking pot. Add the cardamom paste and the pepper and fry over a low heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the meat and the turmeric, chilli and coriander powders and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring all the time to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot, adding water if necessary.

4. Lower the heat and add yogurt, tomatoes and salt to taste and continue to sate for a further 5 minutes. Add about 800 ml of water, cover the pot and leave to simmer over a low heat until the meat is tender.

The secret of success with this dish lies in making sure that the meat and spices are fried for a full 10 minutes (step 3) without allowing the spices to burn. Therefore it is essential to keep the heat low and use the recommended amount of oil.

Minced Lamb with Curry Leaves and Chilli

The whole chillies pack quiet a punch, but can be removed from the dish before serving.

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

2 tsp oil

2 medium onions, chopped
10 curry leaves
6 fresh green or red chillies
350 g lean minced (ground) lamb
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp grated fresh root ginger
1 tsp chilli powder
¼ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp salt
2 tomatoes, peeled and quartered
1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

Method:

1. Heat the oil in a karahi, wok or heavy pan and fry the onions with the curry leaves and 3 of the whole chillies.

2. Put the lamb into a bowl. Mix with the garlic, ginger and spices.

3. Add the lamb and salt to the onions and stir-fry for about 7-10 minutes.

4. Add the tomatoes, coriander and remaining chillies and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Balti Bhoona Lamb

Bhooning is a very traditional way of stir-frying ehich simply involves semi-circular movements, scraping the bottom of the pan each time in the centre. Serve this dish with freshly made chapatis.

175 g boneless lean spring lamb

3 medium onions

1 tbsp oil

1 tbsp tomato purée

1 tsp crushed garlic

1½ tsp finely grated ginger

600 ml water

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp shredded fresh root ginger

1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

1 fresh red chilli, chopped

1. Using a sharp knife remove any excess fat from the lamb and cut the meat into small cubes.

2. Dice the onions finely. Heat the oil in a karahi, wok or heavy pan and fry the onions until soft.

3. Meanwhile, mix together the tomato purée, garlic  and ginger, salt and turmeric. Pour the spice mixture on to the onions in the pan and stir-fry for a few seconds.

4. Add the lamb and continue to stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the water, lower the heat, cover the pan and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. When the water has almost evaporated, start bhooning over a medium het (see the introduction above left), making sure that the sauce does not catch on the bottom of the pan. Continue for 5-7 minutes.

6. Pour in the lemon juice, followed by the shredded ginger, coriander, mint and red chilli. Stir to mix, then serve from the pan.
