Rinse the lamb under cold water. Place the lamb in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface. Add quartered onions, halved tomatoes, garlic cloves, bay leaves, and peppercorns.

Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for at least 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender and falling off the bone. Skim off any excess fat from the surface periodically.
