Across Turkey and the Levant, lamb shank soups are served in restaurants from breakfast until late at night, often with lemon and bread for dunking. The broth here gets its color from tomato paste and Turkish red pepper paste fried together in butter before any water goes in. Dried mint and a flash of Aleppo pepper at the end make it taste unmistakably Anatolian. For the restaurant look, wrap the exposed bone in a strip of foil before serving so guests can grab it.
