Powdered & spiced chickpeas simmered in a rich homemade onion & tomato bullion seasoned with pinch of garlic & pieces of dried beef.

Soak the dried beef in water for about 30 minutes to rehydrate it. Then drain and cut into small pieces.

Prepare the Beef

In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

Sauté the Onion

Add minced garlic, paprika, and cumin to the pot. Stir for a minute until fragrant.

Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir well to combine with the onion and spices.

Pour in the water and add the rehydrated beef pieces. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Gradually whisk in the chickpea flour to avoid lumps, stirring continuously.

Let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Once thickened, remove from heat and serve warm with rice or bread.
