Stockholm Lamb
- 1 12 kg leg of lamb (approx 1.5kg, or shanks)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 cup strong black coffee
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 14 cup brandy
- Cut off as much fat as possible so the flavours go straight into the meat.
- This is the longest bit.
- Skip the salt.
- I use as much prepared mustard, usually French or Dijon and rub it in, as much as you feel like!
- Rub in the mustard and garlic (I use more than 1 clove) on all sides and pour over a little bit of the water, gently so you don't wash off the goodies already on it.
- The water also makes the lamb just moist enough to dampen the next super ingredient.
- Sprinkle over a couple of tablespoons of coffee granules (stuff this, making a cup of coffee).
- Skip the sugar and leave the brandy till a little later or you'll definitely lose all the alcohol.
- If cooking in the frypan pour more water into the frypan NOT on the lamb or you'll definitely lose all the goodies.
- Cook on 8, (10 being the hottest) for a couple of hours.
- Keep checking to make sure the pan does not boil dry and turning the lamb a few times to make the flavours go all through.
- You can add oil at the beginning if you like.
- I sometimes cook the veges in with the lamb and they come out black and yummy but not crunchy.
- Shanks don't take as long as the leg to cook and are better with a lower temperature about 160C in the oven, especially if you are just cooking the shanks.
- If cooking in the oven, I use less water 'cos it doesn't evaporate as much and bake uncovered at about 180-200C for a couple hours.
