HOW TO MAKE

1. Place the beef ribs in a large stock pot or saucepan and cover them with cold water. Add the salt and bring to the boil over medium–high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the ribs simmer happily for 2–3 hours or until the meat starts to fall off the bone. During cooking, skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
2. Remove the ribs from the broth, discard the bones, then cut the meat into small pieces and return it to the broth over low heat.
3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the onion until soft and starting to colour, then add it to the broth. Add a little more oil to the frying pan, then repeat with the carrot and add to the broth.
4. Add the tomato passata, spices, dried mint, chilli, walnuts, saffron and soaking liquid to the broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir through the tamarind paste and taste for seasoning – the soup should have a good balance of sour and salty flavours. Simmer for another 5 minutes, then add the chopped herbs and serve.
