Authentic Dutch Kapsalon Recipe with Lamb

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 kg lamb shoulder (cut into chunks)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups fries (frozen or homemade)
  • 1 cup cheese (grated (Dutch cheese recommended))
  • 1 cup salad greens (for topping)
  • 1 cup sambal (spicy sauce for serving)
  • 1 cup garlic sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Lamb

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add lamb and brown on all sides.

    Ensure the lamb is well-seared for better flavor.
  2. Add Seasonings

    Sprinkle garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper over the lamb, stirring to coat evenly.

    Let the spices marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. Cook the Lamb

    Reduce heat, cover, and let cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours until lamb is tender.

    Check occasionally and add a bit of water if necessary.
  4. Prepare the Fries

    Cook fries according to package instructions or until golden brown if homemade.

    Keep fries warm in the oven while preparing the rest.
  5. Assemble the Kapsalon

    In a large dish, layer fries, top with shredded lamb, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until cheese melts.

    Use a broiler for a nice golden top.
  6. Serve

    Top with salad greens and drizzle with sambal and garlic sauce before serving.

    Serve immediately for best taste.
