Ingredients

  • 1 kilogram lamb meat with bones
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 50 mililitres water
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 pinch thyme
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Place the meat in a bowl and cover with cold water. Rest for half an hour so the little bones and/or blood in the meat comes out.
  • Rinse the meat under flowing water and pat dry with paper towel.
  • Place the meat in a large pot.
  • Also add the garlic cloves and the black peppers.
  • Cover the lid and cook over low heat for about 2-3 hours until the meat almost falls of the bones.
  • The meat will first leave its water and then will absorb it back.
  • If by the time the meat absorbs back its own water the meat is not well done, add about 100 millilitres of warm water and continue to cook until it is ready.
  • When ready and the water is all absorbed add a tablespoon of butter and salt to taste. Gently sauté the meat so it is slightly roasted on all sides.
  • Sprinkle with thyme and enjoy.
