Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, place the lamb bones and meat. Add the water and bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Once boiling, skim off any impurities that rise to the surface. Then add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, and salt.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the broth is flavorful.

  4. 4

    Strain the Broth

    Once done, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the broth into another pot. Discard the solids.

  5. 5

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the broth and adjust salt as needed. Serve hot or store for later use.
