Soured Beef Broth
Soured Beef Broth
"Broth is something that I grew up with, and various types of meat can be used. This broth is such a comforter, a real soul warmer and a true hugger. This is yet another one of these must share beautiful soups because I just want to get you as addicted to it as I am. Just get that fresh home made bread out and some fresh green/red chillies and juuuust enjoy it! Delicious !! In terms of the vegetables there is no right or wrong as you may mix and add whatever you have in your fridge or whatever preferences you may have. Let’s get cooking, shall we? Bon appétit!"
NotesThe vegetables are again something you can pick and choose according to your liking and what you have in the fridge or, simply what you fancy on the day?

When the meat has cooked for the 30-40 minutes, add all the chopped vegetables to the meat, cover the pot again in the first 5 minutes and then let uncover. Let it cook for another about 20 minutes on medium heat.

Add the tomato paste and the chopped tomatoes and allow to cook (uncovered) on medium heat until it starts boiling again when you could reduce the heat to low and cook for a further 20 mins.Put salt and pepper to taste.

Switch off the heat and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes. Add the juice from one or two lemons and stir.
