Ingredients for two litres of snert

Available at De Waddel sheep farm or De Hoge Kamp:

  • 1.5 lamb kebabs
  • 1 lamb smoked sausage

Available from farmer Lap at the Hemmerkooi:

  • 600 grams of green peas
  • 100 grams carrots
  • 100 grams of leeks
  • 20 grams of salt

And further:

  • 2.5 litres of water
  • 100 grams of celeriac
  • Pepper to taste

Method

Soak the peas in the water with the salt for 24 hours. Add the lamb shanks to the soaked peas with the soaking water and put on the fire. Simmer for at least two hours, stirring regularly. Meanwhile, cut the celeriac and carrot brunoise (4 by 4 millimetres). Cut the leeks into thin rings and the lamb smoked sausage into slices.

Remove the lamb crabs from the pan and remove the bones and finely chop the meat. Add the lamb crab meat, carrot and celeriac to the peas. Cook the vegetables al dente. Add the leek rings and slices of smoked sausage to the pan and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
