Preparation

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Chop the onions, garlic, carrots, and bell pepper. Peel and cube the potatoes. Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using canned.

Cooking

2

Sear the Lamb

In a large pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Season the lamb shank with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned. Remove from pot and set aside.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the onions and garlic, cooking until translucent. Add the carrots, bell pepper, and potatoes, sautéing for about 5 minutes.

4

Add Spices and Chickpeas

Stir in the cumin, cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, chickpeas, and season with more salt and pepper to taste.

5

Simmer

Return the lamb shank to the pot, add enough water to cover the ingredients, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for about 2 hours or until the lamb is tender.

6

Finish with Coconut Milk

Once the lamb is tender, stir in the coconut milk and let it simmer for another 15 minutes.
