👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Prepare the noodle dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs. Gradually add water, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for at least 1 hour.

Prepare the meat stew: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil or fat over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb and beef pieces until browned on all sides. Remove meat and set aside.

Add sliced onions to the pot and sauté until golden brown. Add carrots and cook for another 5 minutes. Return the meat to the pot. Add garlic cloves, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Cover with water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender.

While the stew simmers, prepare the noodles: Divide the rested dough into several portions. Roll each portion very thinly (about 1-2 mm thick) on a lightly floured surface. Let the sheets dry slightly for about 15-20 minutes. Stack the sheets, dusting with flour between each layer to prevent sticking. Cut the stacked dough into very thin strips (about 2-3 mm wide).

Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cut noodles in batches, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they float and are tender but still have a slight bite (al dente). Drain the noodles.

Assemble the dish: Remove the meat from the stew. Shred or thinly slice the meat. Strain the broth, discarding solids. Skim off excess fat from the broth. In a large serving bowl, place a generous layer of cooked noodles. Top with shredded meat and a ladleful of the hot broth. Repeat layers. Garnish generously with fresh dill and parsley. Serve hot, with a small bowl of vinegar on the side for those who wish to add it.
