Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Searing the Lamb

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and sear them until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sautéing the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent. Then add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Adding Spices and Tomatoes

    Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir well.

  4. 4

    Combining Ingredients

    Return the seared lamb to the pot, along with the chickpeas and broth. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.

  5. 5

    Simmering the Stew

    Let the stew simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together.

  6. 6

    Final Touches

    Stir in the chopped parsley and cilantro just before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
