👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Thoroughly clean the beef or lamb feet. If not already done by the butcher, you may need to singe off any remaining hairs and scrub them well.
- 2
Place the cleaned feet in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then drain and rinse the feet and the pot. This step helps to remove impurities and any gamey odor.
- 3
Return the feet to the pot and add fresh cold water to cover by at least 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil, then immediately reduce the heat to the lowest possible simmer.
- 4
Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first hour of simmering. Cover the pot and let it simmer very gently for 6 to 8 hours, or until the meat is falling off the bone and the broth is rich and gelatinous.
- 5
Towards the end of the cooking time, season generously with salt. Do not add garlic at this stage, as it will be added at serving.
- 6
Once cooked, carefully remove the feet from the broth. Discard any bones and skin. Shred the tender meat and return it to the broth.
- 7
To serve, ladle the hot khash into individual bowls. Stir in minced or crushed garlic to taste. Some prefer to add garlic to the entire pot, while others add it per bowl.
- 8
Garnish with dried mint and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately with torn pieces of lavash bread, radishes, and pickled vegetables on the side.
