NOMU Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
2 celery stalks, trimmed and finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and stalks finely chopped
600g lamb leg or shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 2.5cm pieces
1 tbsp NOMU Ground Cumin
1 tsp NOMU Ground Turmeric
1 tsp NOMU Smoked Sweet Paprika
½ tbsp NOMU Ground Cinnamon
½ tbsp NOMU Ground Coriander
2 NOMU Whole Bay Leaves
1 tbsp tomato purée
700ml prepared NOMU Vegetable STOCK or NOMU Lamb STOCK
400g tin plum tomatoes
400g tin chickpeas
To serve:
6 tbsp plain yoghurt
2 tbsp harissa paste
Moroccan-style flatbreads, to serve
Heat a glug of Olive Oil in a large saucepan over a low heat, and sauté the chopped vegetables, garlic and parsley stalks for about 10 minutes until softened but not coloured.
Season, then turn up the heat a little and add the lamb. Brown the lamb, stirring, for another 5-7 minutes.
Add the spices, bay leaves and tomato purée. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spices smell fragrant.
Pour the prepared Vegetable or Lamb Stock into the pan, followed by the tinned tomatoes and chickpeas (liquid included). Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
Remove the lid and cook for a further 30 minutes, until the meat is tender and the soup is rich (add a splash of water if it gets too thick).
When the soup is ready, season to taste, stir in the chopped parsley leaves and ladle into bowls. Swirl a little yoghurt and harissa paste on top and serve with hot flatbreads on the side.
Tips: If you don’t mind bones, lamb knuckles have delicious flavour and texture and would be delicious in this recipe. Just increase the cooking time to 1 and a half hours.
If chickpeas are not your favourite, you can replace them with couscous or bulgur wheat. Both are easy to make, deliciously hearty and satisfying.
