Ingredients / 2 port 2 lamb shanks, tied with cooking twine 2 dl white wine 4 tbsp ghee 1 block of celery stalks, roughly chopped 2 medium leeks, the white part only sliced 6 spring onions, chopped 200 g celery root, grated Celtic salt and freshly ground pepper | Egg Lemon Sauce 1 lemon, juice 1 big egg, organic 2 tbsp freshly chopped dill
|
Method
Place the lamb in a medium saucepan with a high neck, add the wine, and cover the rest with water. Bring to a boil, then boil the heat to medium–low and simmer until the meat becomes tender.
Remove the meat and leave it to cool. Sieve the liquid and refrigerate for the lamb to set and the fat from the broth to be removed on the surface.
Heat a medium-sized pot on medium heat, add the ghee, gently sauté the leeks, celery and celery root and continue simmering with the lead on for another 30 minutes.
In a bowl, beat the egg with a wire until they become frothy, and then add the lemon and continue beating until incorporated.
Gradually, we add about four tablespoons of the stock from the pot to the egg mixture, stirring until thoroughly heated.
Pour the egg mixture into the pot with the fresh dill and shake it so the egg-lemon mix is incorporated into the remaining liquids.
Let the food rest for 10 minutes, and serve at once.
Tips
The recipe is classic but is typically made with pork. I love lamb, so I've tried to change it a bit, and the results are amazing.
