Granny's Broth (Cawl Mam-gu) Welsh
- 2 lbs best end of neck welsh lamb
- 2 large leeks
- 1 small swede (Turnip)
- 1 ounce parsley
- 12 lb carrot
- 12 ounce flour
- 1 lb potato
- salt and pepper
- Put the meat into the saucepan, cover with cold water, add salt and pepper, bring slowly to the boil and skin carefully.
- (This can be done the night before and the fat allowed to set on the surface.
- This makes it easier to skim off.)
- Then add the carrots (cut in half), the swede (sliced) and the white of the leeks, and simmer gently for 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
- Add the potatoes (cut in four) and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.
- When the potatoes are almost cooked, thicken with flour and a little water.
- Lastly, add the green of the leeks and parsley (chopped) and simmer for further 10 minutes and serve in basins while hot.
- Cawl was the dish most commonly served for dinner on the farm during the winter months in th ecounties of South and West Wales.
- The broth itself would be served in basins or bowls, with bread, and the meat and vegetables served as a second course.
