Sposób przygotowania

Krok po kroku

1
Rinse the lamb's head and trotters thoroughly under cold running water, scrubbing any impurities off.
Około 5 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Ensure all parts are very clean for the best flavor.
2
Place the cleaned lamb's head and trotters in a large pot and cover with water.
3
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce to a simmer and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
Około 10 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Skimming helps keep the broth clear and clean-tasting.
4
Drain the water and rinse the lamb parts again, cleaning the pot as well.
Około 5 min
Wskazówka kucharza: This blanching step helps remove impurities and strong odors.
5
Return the lamb's head and trotters to the clean pot.
6
Add the onion, garlic, turmeric powder, black peppercorns, bay leaf, and salt to the pot.
7
Pour in enough water to completely cover the lamb parts, ensuring there is at least an inch or two of water above the ingredients.
8
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 5-6 hours, or until the meat is extremely tender and falling off the bone.
Około 6 godz.
Wskazówka kucharza: The longer and slower it simmers, the more tender and flavorful the soup will be.

Carefully remove the lamb parts from the broth and let them cool slightly.
