EASTER LAMB
Recipe courtesy of Kuća dida Tunje restaurant from Oprisavac.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg lamb shanks
- 0.5 g rosemary
- 1 g salt
- 0.5 g parsley leaves
- 0.3 dl oil
- Vegetables (1 carrot, 1 bell pepper, 2 zucchini)
- 500 g potatoes
- Butter
- Milk
Preparation:
Chop the fresh rosemary and mix it with salt. Rub the seasoned salt into the meat and let it sit to absorb the flavors. Place the shanks in a baking dish, drizzle with oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C. After 30 minutes, turn the meat over, bake for another 30 minutes, then turn again and continue baking for an additional 15-30 minutes until the desired color is achieved. Before serving, drizzle the meat with the roasting juices and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve with thinly sliced vegetables and potatoes. In a wok, heat oil well and stir-fry the vegetables. Start with the carrots, then add the bell pepper, and finally the zucchini so they finish cooking at the same time.
Peel and dice the potatoes, then boil them in salted water for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them with a potato masher. Add butter and hot milk, mixing everything well to make a creamy mash.
Enjoy!
