Simmer the lamb

30 min

Add the diced lamb to the water. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes, skimming off the foam.

2

Add the chickpeas

25 min

Add the precooked chickpeas and onion. Cook over low heat for 25 minutes more.

3

Add the vegetables

15 min

Sprinkle with fresh mint and serve hot.

Reminder

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the flavor deepens by the next day. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.
