Lamb and Chickpea Stew
Lamb and Chickpea Stew is Mediterranean home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb lamb stew meat
- 2 cups canned chickpeas
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 15 oz crushed tomatoes

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp ground cumin

- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1.5 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Season the lamb with the salt.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high and brown the lamb in batches, then remove it.
- Soften the onion, garlic, and carrots in the same pot, about 6 minutes, then stir in the cumin, coriander, and cinnamon.
- Return the lamb, add the crushed tomatoes, chickpeas, and broth, and bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook gently until the lamb is fork-tender, about 70 minutes.
- Stir in the cilantro and adjust the salt before serving.
