Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Nice with dumplings or a thick slice of fresh home made bread. Any kind of meat can be used. Bone marrow is optional. I prefer to use root vegetables e.g. carrot, turnip, kohlrabi, celery, leek, etc. Water can be substituted with stock. White cabbage can be substituted with green beans. Herbs are of your choice.
