- In a large pot, soak lamb head and feet in lightly salted cold water overnight.
- Drain from the soaking water and cover in clean water. Bring to a boil and then change the water again.
- In the fresh water add all ingredients including thesaffron spice in with the lamb head and feet, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 8 hours or so until it becomes tender.
- Take the head out of the broth and reduce the broth by half by continuing to simmer.
- Meanwhile, clean the lamb head by taking the tongue out of the mouth cavity and peeling the external layer of skin.
- Take the cheek meat off the bone of the lamb head, and clean out any excessive white fat that has not melted away.
- On a firm surface, bang the back of the head on the opening into the brain cavity to retrieve the brain; you can also peel away part of the skull in order to acquire a larger opening to extract the brain. Lastly, remove the eye balls from their socket, taking out the iris but gently pushing your thumb under it, and pull out the tough vein muscle from the back of the eye.
- Add all the cleaned offal and meat back into the reduced broth, and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Serve with fresh bread and lime juice.
