Method 7 steps
Cover the mutton with cold water, bring it up and skim thoroughly.
Simmer two hours with the bay, until the meat comes away from the bone.
Lift out the meat, cool it and pull it into threads by hand, discarding bones and sinew.
Crumble the flatbread by hand into pieces the size of a fingernail. Do not cut it.
Slice the onion thin and work it with a pinch of salt so it softens.
Mix the bread, meat and onion dry in a large bowl, and season.
Divide between bowls and pour over the strained boiling broth immediately before serving.
