Sweet berry shine with smoked lamb
Traditionally, crowberries (Krækiberja) are used for this recipe. Crowberries belong to the genus of heather plants, a flat plant where you have to look very closely - and then you suddenly discover a lot of berries.Crowberries contain twice as much vitamin C as blueberries and are therefore a very good source of vitamins. Strictly speaking, they also contain grayanotoxins - a plant poison, which is only contained in such small quantities in crowberries that there are no known cases of poisoning. In Iceland and other Scandinavian countries in particular, crowberries are traditionally used as food.
If crowberries are not available at the moment, you can also use other types of berries or berry mixtures to make this berry sauce.

| Hangikjöt with Flatbrauð |
Oh yes, the Hangikjöt - Hangikjöt is lamb meat smoked over sheep dung and aged for a long time, which gives the meat its very own and very special taste. Hangikjöt may not be exported to the EU; smoking with sheep dung is not permitted here. So here you have to make do with cold smoked lamb for this dish.
Ingredients200 g berries
100 g honey
50 ml balsamic vinegar
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of pepper
smoked lamb
Preparation
Put all the ingredients for the berry sauce in a pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced by about half.
Allow to cool well...
...and then serve with cold, thinly sliced hangikjöt. With fresh salad, it's a very nice meal that's easy to prepare!
