It adds a subtle warmth and light spiciness to the broth. Highly recommended to try — it gives a very interesting flavor.

Remove the meat and aromatics. Strain the broth if needed for extra clarity.
Serve hot, sprinkled with finely chopped parsley. Traditionally enjoyed with Kibinai or other meat pies.
