laojuht

Laojuht is a traditional Estonian dish that has been a staple in Estonian cuisine for centuries. The name "laojuht" translates to "lamb's head" in English, reflecting the primary ingredient of the dish. The dish is typically prepared by boiling the lamb's head until it is tender, then removing the meat and skin, leaving behind the cartilage and bones. The cartilage and bones are then simmered in a flavorful broth, often seasoned with herbs and spices, until they become soft and the broth is rich and savory. The dish is usually served with boiled potatoes and a side of pickled vegetables. Laojuht is often considered a hearty and comforting dish, and it is commonly enjoyed during special occasions and family gatherings in Estonia. Despite its unique appearance, laojuht is widely appreciated for its distinctive flavor and texture, making it a beloved dish in Estonian culinary tradition.
