Roasted Lamb with Rhubarb Sauce (Lambakjøt við Rabarberasoði)

Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg lamb shoulder, bone-in
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 kg rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. Season the lamb shoulder with salt and pepper, then rub it with olive oil.
  3. Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and golden brown.
  4. While the lamb is roasting, prepare the rhubarb sauce. In a saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.
  5. Once the lamb is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  6. Serve the roasted lamb with the rhubarb sauce on the side.
