How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Place the lamb in a heavy 4- to 5-quart casserole and add the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, meanwhile skimming off the foam and scum as they rise to the surface.
|
2. Add the barley, salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low, and simmer partially covered for 1 hour. Add the carrots, turnips, onions, leeks and celery, partially cover again, and cook for 1hour more.
|
3. With a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb to a plate and pull or cut the meat away from the bones. Discard the bones, fat and gristle, and cut the meat into ˝-inch cubes. Return the meat to the soup and simmer for 2 or 3 minutes to heat it through.
|
4. Taste for seasoning. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
