How to Make Lamb Bone Broth
Lamb bone broth has a bold, distinctive flavor that rewards a little extra care. Leg and shoulder bones, along with the bones saved from a roast, make a wonderful base. Roasting them first tames any gaminess and builds a deeper, sweeter flavor.
Cover the roasted bones with cold water, add a splash of vinegar, and simmer gently for twelve to twenty-four hours. Lamb pairs beautifully with warm spices, so consider adding garlic, rosemary, and a little cumin or coriander near the end. Skim the fat as it cools, and you have a broth with real character, popular across many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern kitchens.
