🧂 Ingredienser
- 300 g Hangikjöt (smoked lamb)(thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1/4 cup Dill(fresh, chopped)
- 1 tsp Juniper berries(crushed)

👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
In a small bowl, mix together salt, sugar, chopped dill, crushed juniper berries, black pepper, and lemon zest. If using, stir in the aquavit or Brennivín.
- 2
Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap. Arrange the thinly sliced hangikjöt in a single layer, overlapping slightly, to form a rectangular 'fillet' shape.
- 3
Evenly spread the salt and sugar mixture over the hangikjöt slices.
- 4
Carefully wrap the hangikjöt tightly in the plastic wrap, ensuring it is well-sealed. Place in a shallow dish.
- 5
Refrigerate for 2 to 3 days, turning the package over once a day to ensure even curing. The hangikjöt will firm up and develop a richer flavor.
- 6
To serve, unwrap the hangikjöt gravlax and gently scrape off any excess curing mixture. Slice thinly and serve with rye bread, butter, and a dollop of skyr or crème fraîche.
