How to Make Lamb And Chickpea Stew

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs of cubed lamb shoulder and brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure even browning.
  4. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cups of lamb stock, and the juice of 1/2 a lemon.
  5. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the lamb is very tender.
  6. Add 2 (15 ounce) cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
