Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt, eggs and lukewarm water to form a firm dough, then knead it for 10 minutes.
- Let it rest 30 minutes under a damp cloth, then roll it out very thinly on a floured surface.
- Roll up the dough and cut it into thin irregular strips by hand, then dust them with flour so they don't stick.
- Cook the lamb in salted water with the whole onion for 1 hour 15 minutes, until the meat is tender.
- Remove the onion and lamb, bring the broth to a boil and cook the noodles in it for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Mix the yogurt with the crushed garlic and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Melt the butter, add the flour and stir for 1 minute to make a light roux, then loosen it with a little broth.
- Serve the noodles in bowls with some broth, the meat, the garlic yogurt and the roux butter.
Variations and tips
Mint version. Stir a spoonful of dried mint into the melted butter to boost its aroma.
Using what you have. If lamb is unavailable, use braising beef or chicken; the noodles can also be replaced with wide fresh pasta.
