Lamb shank with dukkah & crushed potatoes

Denne opskrift på lammekølle er herlig og nem gæstemad. Kødet får skøn smag fra den mellemøstlige krydderiblanding dukkah, der ligeledes er med til at give kødet et sprødt ydre. Herligheden serveres med simple, lækre knuste kartofler og en myntedressing.

Lammekølle med dukkah & knuste kartofler

Hovedret til 4 personer

Forberedelse 30 m /I alt 2 t 30 min

INGREDIENSER

DUKKAH
100 g hasselnødder
50 g sesamfrø
50 g græskarkerner
1 spsk. korianderfrø
1 spsk. spidskommenfrø
1 tsk. salt
LAM
1 lammekølle
1 spsk. olivenolie
1 portion dukkah
KNUSTE KARTOFLER
1 kg kartofler
2 spsk olivenolie
Salt
MYNTEDRESSING
1 håndfuld mynte
2 dl yoghurt
1 spsk olivenolie
1 spsk citronsaft
Salt & friskkværnet peber

DUKKAH

Kom alle ingredienser i en foodprocessor eller minihakker, og kør, indtil konsistensen ligner groft salt.

Rist dukkahen på en tør pande, indtil den begynder at dufte og blive gylden.

Lad dukkahen køle af.

LAM

Tænd ovnen på 250 grader.

Dup lammekøllen tør med køkkenrulle, placér den i et ildfast fad, og smør den ind i olivenolie.
Drys og dup dukkahen på lammekøllen, og fordel det over kødet, så hele køllen er dækket.

Hæld vand i fadet, så det dækker bunden, og sæt derefter køllen i ovnen ved 250 grader det første kvarter.

Skru derefter ovnen ned på 150 grader en time, og skru til sidst op på 175 grader de sidste 45 minut ter.
Lammekøllen skal altså have i alt 2 timer i ovnen.

Sørg for, at der hele tiden er vand i bunden af fadet, så det ikke brænder på, og lad lammekøllen hvile i 15 minutter, inden du skærer kødet ud.

KNUSTE KARTOFLER

Skrub kartoflerne rene, og kog dem i letsaltet vand.

Lad de kogte kartofler køle en smule af, og placér dem derefter på en beklædt bageplade.

Tænd ovnen på 175 grader.

Hold rundt om skindet på kartoflerne, og tryk dem flade med en gaffel, så du får små kartoffelkratere.
Pensl kartoffelkraterne med olivenolie, drys med og salt, og sæt dem derefter i ovnen i 15-20 minutter, indtil de er gyldne.

MYNTEDRESSING

Lav dressingen ved at hakke mynten fint og vende det sammen de resterende ingredienser.

Smag til med salt og peber, og stil dressingen i køleskabet indtil servering.

Lamb leg with a Middle Eastern twist

Give your leg of lamb – and maybe even your Easter lamb – extra flavor with Middle Eastern spices. In this step, the dukkah is added to the lamb before it goes into the oven. The spices add flavor to the meat, which is slowly roasted and gets a crispy surface in the oven. Incredibly easy and delicious! You can also make the dukkah spice mixture in advance – then it really is what you call an easy guest meal. You just have to be patient while the leg of lamb is cozying up in the oven.

What do you serve for Easter?

If you are having an Easter dinner with family or friends, then it is obvious to serve Easter lamb. Here is a recipe for lamb leg with dukkah, which is great, as it is an easy and straightforward serving. Lamb crown can also be served with herbs and pistachios, with baked carrots as a side dish. You can also supplement the lamb with a salad like this couscous salad with apricots or one green salad with pomegranate and avocado. You can also stick to the Middle Eastern twist in your Easter dinner and serve baked eggplant with tahini dressing and pomegranate seeds.

If you have guests over for coffee, you can use these wonderful suggestions for Easter cakes: a carrot cake with (the best!) cream cheese frosting or a delicious chocolate cake with mascarpone-coffee cream. Then you've undoubtedly been provided with a wonderful (and lavish) Easter for those you love!

What is dukkah?

Dukkah is an Egyptian spice mix made by toasting nuts and spices in a pan. Here, the dukkah is added to the lamb leg before it is put in the oven, so that the spices can add flavor to the meat, which is slowly roasted and gets a crispy surface in the oven. It is one of my favorite ways to serve lamb, because the meat becomes incredibly juicy and flavorful.

For the leg of lamb, you can serve a fresh mint dressing and the world's best crispy, crushed potatoes.
