6 portions
• 2 kg waterblommetjies
• cold water
• 30 ml salt
• 30 ml olive oil
• 500 g lamb ribs
• 700 g lamb neck
• 1 onion, finely chopped

Place the waterblommetjies in a large bowl and cover with the cold water. Add the salt and allow to stand while the meat is cooking. Heat the oil in a large pot. Fry the ribs and lamb neck until well browned. Add the onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the stock and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and stew on a low temperature until the meat is tender, adding a little water if necessary. Add the waterblommetjies and stir well. They need to simmer for only 30 minutes until soft. Don’t overcook or they’ll go soggy. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
