TO COOK: Take the meat from the liquid and wash well. Pour out the liquid from the dish and put back the meat into a large container. Cover with cold water, bring slowly to the boil. Remove all the scum with a spoon dipped in cold water. Now add the large onion, celery, carrots, cinnamon, mixed spice, salt, a half teaspoon allspice, half teaspoon mustard seed, two bay leaves, a few grinds of black pepper and three cloves of garlic.
