Preparation


Place the lamb shanks in a large saucepan. Cover with 2–3 litres water and bring to the boil. Remove any scum that comes to the surface and discard. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until lamb is tender.

Remove shanks and strain the broth. If you refrigerate the broth when it has cooled, the fat will rise to the top and set, allowing it to be easily removed.

Place the barley in a small saucepan. Cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20–30 minutes, or until the barley is tender. Drain and set aside.

Pour the broth into a clean saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the onions, leek, celery, carrots, kohlrabi and turnips, and cook over a low heat for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add cabbage, check seasoning and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Cut the meat off the lamb shank bones, discarding any skin, sinew and the bones. Add to the broth along with the pearl barley. Cook for a further 10 minutes, check seasoning again and serve with a generous handful of chopped parsley.

A little bland
I made this recipe but didn't have access to kohlrabi or turnips so I used parsnips and carrot instead. The end result was lacking in a bit of flavour (possibly because I substituted the vegetables). I'd make it again but would consider using stock instead of water.
