Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Lamb
If your fermented lamb is not pre-sliced, use a very sharp knife to cut it into thin slices. The goal is to have pieces that will crisp up quickly in the pan.
Heat the Pan
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter or oil and allow it to heat up until it shimmers.
Sear the Lamb
Carefully place the fermented lamb slices in a single layer in the hot pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side. The goal is to achieve crispy edges while just warming the meat through.
Add the Garlic
In the last 30 seconds of cooking, add the thinly sliced garlic to the pan. Sauté it quickly with the lamb until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to let it burn.
Serve Immediately
Remove the lamb and garlic from the pan and serve immediately. It is traditionally served as an appetizer or with simple sides like boiled potatoes or dense rye bread to complement its strong flavor.
