Herby Icelandic Baked Lamb Stew

Assemble the ingredients: lamb, black pepper, turmeric, garlic, lemon juice, chili, onion.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the lamb and cook until baked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Icelandic flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Icelandic accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
