Authentic Dutch Kapsalon Recipe with Lamb

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 kg lamb shoulder (boneless, cut into cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 onion large, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked, ground)
  • 1 teaspoon coriander (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 4 cups fries (cooked and crispy)
  • 1 cup cheese (grated (Gouda or cheddar))
  • 1 cup salad mix (for topping)
  • 1 cup sauce (garlic sauce or hot sauce)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Lamb

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent.

    Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Cook the Lamb

    Add the lamb cubes to the skillet. Season with cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook until the lamb is browned and cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; lamb should reach 145°F (63°C).
  3. Layer the Fries

    In a baking dish, layer the cooked fries evenly at the bottom.

    Use frozen fries for convenience; they will crisp up nicely in the oven.
  4. Add the Lamb

    Spoon the cooked lamb mixture over the fries, spreading it evenly.

    Don't be shy with the lamb; make it hearty!
  5. Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the grated cheese over the lamb layer. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

    Keep an eye on the cheese to avoid burning.
  6. Serve and Garnish

    Remove from the oven and top with salad mix and sauce of your choice. Serve hot.

    Serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping!
