What each ingredient does
- Mutton
- Provides the meat flavour and gelatin that give the broth body and richness.
The step that matters
Stew slowly for 4 hours. Gentle, slow simmering draws flavour and collagen out of the meat without toughening it. A rolling boil makes the broth cloudy and the meat stringy.
