The Turks don’t eat beef the way they eat lamb: meat, in Turkey, means lamb unless otherwise directed. But the Polish ambassador Palewski, dreaming ofhis homeland amid the winter snows in Istanbul, thinks of a boiled beef dinner which he would have done like this:
Put the brisket into a cast iron pot or saucepan, and scald with boiling water, to cover. Add a tsp of salt and simmer for an hour and a half, skimming the broth. Peel the onion, chop it in half, and singe it over a naked flame. Put it into the pot with the other aromatics, and simmer very gently for another hour.
