👨‍🍳 Інструкції

1. 1

   Rinse the lamb pieces under cold water. Place the lamb in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce heat to low and skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.

2. 2

   Add the quartered onions, bay leaves, and black peppercorns to the pot. Cover and simmer gently for 1.5 hours, or until the lamb is very tender.

   💡 Професійні поради: Low and slow simmering develops the best flavor.

   Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot, discarding the solids (except the lamb).

   Once the lamb is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Discard the bones.

5. 5

   Return the strained broth to a simmer. Add the carrots, potatoes, and whole garlic cloves. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

6. 6

   Add the quartered tomatoes and the shredded lamb meat back into the pot. Season with salt to taste. Cook for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

7. 7

   Stir in the chopped fresh dill, cilantro, and parsley just before serving. Ladle the shurpa into bowls, ensuring each serving has lamb and plenty of vegetables.
