Dograma

Bread, meat and onion torn into broth.

Ingredients

• 800 g Lamb
• 3 rounds Chorek bread
• 3 Onions
• 1 tbsp Black pepper
• 2 tsp Salt
• 8 cups Water

Method

1. Boil the lamb — Simmer with salt for 2 hours until falling apart, keeping the broth clear.
2. Tear everything by hand — Shred the bread, meat and onion by hand rather than cutting — dograma means crumbled, and knives change the texture.
3. Combine — Mix the three together in a bowl with plenty of black pepper.
4. Add broth — Ladle the hot skimmed broth over just before serving.
5. Dograma is ready — Eat immediately while the bread still has bite.
