Traditional Welsh Recipes
Cawl (Broth).
Welsh lamb is the basis of this substantial meat and vegetable broth; a meal in
itself.
| 2lb. neck of Welsh lamb |
1 medium onion, diced |
| 3 pts. lamb or veg stock |
1 med turnip, diced |
| ½lb. peas shelled |
1 med parsnip, diced |
| ½lb. broad beans shelled |
1 med parsnip, diced |
| 1 small cauliflower in florets |
2-3 lettuce leaves, shredded |
| 1 med leak, diced |
Salt and pepper |
| 1 med carrot, diced |
Chopped parsley for garnish |
Trim the lamb to remove the fat. Place the meat in a saucepan with a
very little cooking oil and brown on all sides. Cover with stock and bring to the boil, skimming if necessary.
Prepare all the vegetables and set aside the cauliflower and lettuce until later. Add the rest of the vegetables to
the meat and season with the salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 2½-3 hours. Add the cauliflower and lettuce to
the broth 20 mins before the end of the cooking time. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve piping hot with
crusty bread.
Serves 6.
