My Scotch Broth

This reminds me of our maltese kawlata which is made with pork ,as I do not cook pork I make scotch broth using vegetables,barley and lamb. A very filling soup and  It will take the chill out of you on a cold winter’s evening.

Ingredients:

• 2 large carrots sliced
• 2 marrows diced
• 1 large onion chopped
• 4 potatoes cut into chunks
• 1 large or 2 small turnips chopped
• celery sliced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 dessert spoon hot curry
• 500g lamb (sliced leg of lamb or  shanks) Leg of lamb slices will cook faster than lamb shank .
• seasoning
• 1.5 ltr stock or water
• 1 cup barley

Method:

• Put the chopped veg in a large bowl and drizzle a spoon of oil over it mix well  and then put in a pot and fry a bit .
• Add the curry and tomato paste .
• Then pour the stock or water season to taste and put the lamb in.
• Add the barley over the top of the soup but do not stir .
• When it starts to boil put it on low heat and let it simmer until meat is tender.
• Apart from the above mentioned vegetables I sometimes also add cauliflower florets and shredded cabbage.
