Kelle paça soup, flavored with garlic and vinegar in a dark broth obtained from hours of simmering lamb trotters, is one of the deep-rooted delicacies of traditional Anatolian cuisine. It's usually served hot in the morning hours.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Pre-boil the trotters

10 min

Boil the cleaned trotters in boiling water for 10 minutes, then discard the water — this reduces the initial odor from the first boil.

2

Simmer for a long time

150 min

Boil the trotters again in fresh water with onion and bay leaf, then cook over low heat for 2.5 hours until the meat separates from the bone. Important: Don't forget to skim off the foam occasionally.

3

Prepare the garlic-vinegar sauce

5 min

Mix the crushed garlic with vinegar and set aside, to be added to the soup as desired at serving time.

4

Serve

3 min

Divide the hot soup into bowls and serve with the garlic vinegar and sautéed red pepper flakes.

Reminder

Important: Soaking trotters in water for a few hours before boiling and discarding the first boiling water reduces the odor and clarifies the soup. Requires a long cooking time, so you'll need to set aside enough time.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you add the garlic vinegar sauce right before serving, its sharp aroma blends into the soup without being lost, giving a much more pronounced flavor; those who like can also add thinly sliced fresh bread on the side.
