Cooking steps

1

Trim excess fat from the lamb shanks. Rinse under cold water to remove impurities.
2

In a large stockpot, combine lamb shanks and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, skimming foam as it rises.
3

Once boiling, reduce to a low simmer and add carrots, chayote, onion, celery, bay leaves, peppercorns, garlic, and salt. Cover and simmer gently for about 2 hours.
4

Remove vegetables after 1 hour of simmering to avoid overcooking; set them aside for garnish. Continue cooking the lamb for an additional hour.
5

After lamb is tender, skim excess fat carefully from the surface. Taste broth for seasoning, adjust salt as needed, and stir in fresh cilantro just before serving.

Personalized Q&A
