This is a hearty lamb soup with Asian flavours.
Ingredients
- 3 lamb shanks
- 2 brown onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed
- 4 whole star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 4 cups (1L) Massel beef style liquid stock
- 2 cups (500ml) water
- 3 fresh lasagne sheets, cut into 4cm-wide strips
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 green onions, trimmed, thinly sliced diagonally
- Coriander leaves, to serve
- Vietnamese mint leaves, to serve
- Lime wedges, to serve
Method
- Step 1Place the lamb shanks, onion, coriander seeds, star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns, beef stock and water in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, skimming the surface occasionally, for 2 hours or until lamb is very tender and coming off the bone. Remove from heat. Remove lamb shanks and set aside. Set remaining mixture aside to cool completely. Place in the fridge to chill. Remove the meat from the shanks and discard the bones.
- Step 2Remove fat from the surface of the stock and discard. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a large saucepan. Place over high heat and bring to the boil. Return the meat to saucepan and add pasta, soy sauce and lime juice. Bring to a simmer.
- Step 3Ladle the soup among serving bowls. Top with green onion, coriander and mint leaves. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
