Soup of Mutton Bone-Marrow

Bone-Marrow is considered a delicacy in many countries with India being one of them.

We in Mangalore prepare variety of mutton dishes with bone marrow in them. Not everyone accepts the taste of the bone marrow flesh but, I suggest you taste it once. Eating with hands is the best way to enjoy the bone marrow. Taste it and drop by again until my next post. Would loved to hear back if you’re still reading. Ciao!!

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 45 minutes

Serves: 2

Required appliance: Pressure cooker (Mine is a Prestige hard-anodized which comes with a insertable pressure regulator on the lid.

Ingredients

Bone marrow (frozen or fresh) – 5 or more chopped, with flesh

Celery leaves or 2 stalks – 1/2 cup, chopped

Egg – 1

Corn flour (optional) – 1 tbsp

Salt as required

Water – 3 cups

Rice vermicelli noodles/Egg noodles – for 2 servings

Directions

1. Into a large pressure cooker, place the mutton bones along with 2.5 cups of water. Add 1/4 tsp salt. Close the lid and Insert the pressure regulator (Check instructions on how to use a pressure cooker for the type you own). Set the heat high.

Since mine comes with an insertable pressure regulator. Take 6 – 7 whistles. This must take approximately 25 – 30 minutes. Turn off heat and let the steam escape on it own.

2. Remove lid, placing it on heat add celery. If you’re using corn flour take some of the liquid from the soup into a glass with some cold water, add flour, mix. Add this to the soup (adding corn flour directly into very hot liquid will form lumps).
