Clean and coarsely chop the blessed thistle, and cut the lamb into cubes.
Saute the lamb in olive oil for 10 minutes.
Add the blessed thistle and turn for 3 minutes.
Add the hot water and salt and cook for 30 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and cook for 5 minutes more.
Rest for 5 minutes so the sour flavor spreads evenly through the broth.
💡 Tip: Add the lemon near the end; the sourness stays bright and does not toughen the meat.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with its cooking juices.
