Salted Icelandic Lamb | Saltkjöt, SS · ~1.5kg

Saltkjöt. Salt-cured Icelandic lamb. The Christmas Eve tradition.

Saltkjöt is whole cuts of Icelandic lamb, salt-cured and ready to boil: the dish Icelanders eat on Christmas Eve with potatoes, béchamel sauce, and green peas, and nothing else. The curing draws out moisture and concentrates the lamb flavour into something deeper and more savoury than any roast. Soak in cold water for 24 hours, boil until tender, serve with the full spread. Approx. 1.5kg.
