Roast Lamb With Laver Sauce | Traditional Lamb Dish From Wales, United Kingdom | TasteAtlas

Roast Lamb with Laver Sauce

Roast lamb with laver sauce is a traditional dish that is regarded by many as the national dish of Wales. It is made by roasting a rack of lamb until it becomes tender and well-flavored. The meat is then accompanied by a deep-green, gelatinous sauce made from stewed seaweed, locally known as laver.


The dish has a long history, and was even consumed by George Henry Borrow, an English author who mentioned it in his 1862 travelogue Wild Wales: Its People, Language and Scenery.
