Turkish Rice Soup With Lamb Recipes

TURKISH RICE SOUP WITH LAMB

Steps:

• Bring 5 quarts water, the lamb shanks, carrots, onions, bay leaves, garlic, and peppercorns to a simmer in a large pot. Cook, skimming foam and fat often, for 2 1/2 hours.
• Transfer lamb to a plate, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bones, and shred, discarding fat. Strain broth through a fine sieve, and skim fat; discard solids.
• Bring 2 cups broth, remaining 1 1/2 cups water, and the rice to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, and gently simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring remaining broth to a simmer in a medium pot. Season with salt and pepper. Add shredded lamb, and cook until heated through.
• Stir a spoonful of rice into each serving of broth. Top with lamb and chiles. Squeeze lemon over soup, drizzle with oil, and season with pepper.
