Ingredients
- 500 grams of lamb (with bone)
- 200 grams of cabbage, roughly chopped
- 2 grams of whole black peppercorns
- 3 grams of salt
- 500 ml of water
- 200 grams of potatoes, chopped into chunks
- 5 grams of rosemary
Method
- Begin by rinsing the lamb in cold water to cleanse it. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, add the lamb, water, salt, and black peppercorns.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 60 minutes, ensuring the lamb becomes tender and flavors develop.
- Add the chopped potatoes and cabbage to the pot. Simmer for another 30 minutes or until the potatoes and cabbage are tender.
- Add the rosemary and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt if necessary.
- Let the stew simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rosemary to infuse the flavors.
- Serve hot, ensuring each bowl gets a mix of lamb, potatoes, and cabbage, with a little of the fragrant broth.
Tips
- For a richer broth, simmer the lamb with the bone, which releases additional flavors and nutrients.
- Use a mix of waxy and starchy potatoes for a contrasting texture in the stew.
- Remember to skim off any impurities that rise to the surface during the simmering process to keep the broth clear.
