Ingredients

  • 4 pieces leg of lamb
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into big chunks
  • 4 yellow zucchini, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup chickpeas, soaked the night before
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ras el hanout spice mix
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 liter water (approx.) or 1 liter broth
  • 3 tablespoons oil

Method

  • Heat the oil in a large pot, e.g. one for soup. Add the onion and the meat and let it take some colour.
  • Add enough water or broth to cover the meat, usually about 1 liter. Stir in the spices.
  • Add the chickpeas right now, or they will never become soft!
  • Let it simmer on low for about 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, add the vegetables, make sure everything is slightly covered with water/broth. Let simmer for another hour.
  • After these two hours, vegetables should be soft, and you should be able to tear apart the meat with a spoon, as this is how it is eaten!
  • Check for seasoning and serve with steamed couscous!
