Method
- 1 Simmer the beef shank with onions for 100 minutes, skimming off the foam continuously for the first 20 minutes.
- 2 Cut the vegetables into large chunks, not diced; that's the proper way to eat Mexican caldo.
- 3 Add the corn kernels and carrots and cook for 20 minutes.
- 4 Add the potatoes and zucchini and cook for 12 minutes.
- 5 The cabbage, cut into large pieces, should be added during the last 6 minutes to keep it crisp.
- 6 Serve hot with lemon, chopped herbs, and warmed cornbread, allowing each person to season to their liking.
