Lamb trotters/head, water, garlic, vinegar, salt, black pepper, chili flakes (optional).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no flour or starch is used for thickening (traditionally it thickens naturally from collagen).
Watch out for
Extremely low risk; some less authentic versions might use a touch of flour as a thickener.
