Cawl Cymreig (Welsh broth)

Anne Reney-Smith

Last updated: 02 February 2006

Food writer Anne Reney-Smith specialises in traditional recipes adapted for microwave ovens...

Where are you from?
Chester originally but I now live in Holt, Wrexham.

What food do you enjoy eating?
I like spicy, tasty foods particularly Creole foods like jambalaya. I specialise in microwave cookery and there are many dishes that can be adapted and cooked quickly in the microwave. It's a fantastic kitchen accessory to create pot pourri, body creams etc as well as food.

Your recipe
Cawl Cymreig (Welsh broth)
8oz neck fillet of lamb
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 leek (sliced)
1 medium sliced carrot
1 medium parsnip (chopped)
1 medium white turnip (chopped)
2 tablespoons parsley
6 small potatoes (chopped)
2 pints water
Salt and pepper
1. Trim any excess fat off the lamb, place sliced in a large Microwaveable bowl, cover with water, add pepper. Microwave covered until boiling - approx. 15 minutes.
2. Then Microwave on Medium for a further 15 minutes.
3. All all the peeled, chopped or sliced vegetables, but only the white end of leek, only half the parsley and not the potatoes.
4. Microwave approximately 5 minutes until boiling point is reached, then Microwave on Medium 15 minutes.
5. Add the diced potatoes and Microwave on Medium for a further 15 minutes.
6. Finally add the remainder of parsley and leeks, season to taste and Microwave for 5 minutes.
This dish would normally take at least 3-4 hours cooked conventionally instead of 1 hour 10 minutes in the Microwave oven.

What British food do you like?
A delicious roast joint especially Welsh lamb and Welsh beef.
