Kjöt í karríi

Meat curry

Here's another very traditional Icelandic recipe for Kjöt í karríi - a really nice, hearty lamb curry.

Ingredients for 4 persons

500g lamb
250 g meat broth
100 g water
1 tsp salt
1 bay leaf
8 medium potatoes
4 large carrots
2 Tbsp softened butter
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp curry powder
freshly ground pepper


Preparation

Wash the lamb thoroughly under cold running water and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Heat a large pan, add the sliced ​​meat to the pan and add the broth and water until the meat is covered. Add the bay leaf and salt and cook for about 30 minutes.

Wash, peel and dice the potatoes and carrots. Add both to the pan and cook again for about 20 minutes.

Remove the meat, potatoes and carrots from the pan and keep warm in the oven.

Melt the butter in a fresh pot, mix with the flour and curry powder...

...and pour in the broth from the pan in portions, stir in thoroughly and bring to the boil until the sauce is thick enough. Season the sauce with fresh pepper and possibly a little salt.

Add the meat and carrots and potatoes back into the sauce and serve with rice.
