Braised Lamb with Chickpeas

Ingredients

Onion - 2 heads
Lamb - 8 pieces
Vegetable Oil - 1 tablespoon
Garlic - 2 cloves
Harissa - 1 tablespoon
Cinnamon - 1 piece
Chickpea - 21.2 oz
Baking Tomatoes - 28.2 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the pieces of lamb until browned. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft.

Step 2

Add the harissa, cinnamon, and spices. Stir and add the tomatoes, bringing to a boil. Cover and simmer until the liquid evaporates, about 50 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chickpeas, olives, and zest to the pot. Sprinkle with spices and simmer for another 20-30 minutes without covering. The meat should be very tender and easily pull away from the bones. Skim off the floating orange oil with a spoon, then sprinkle with mint.
