Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown lamb pieces for 5–6 minutes. Add onion and celery, cook 5 more minutes. Add turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, cumin, and pepper. Stir 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add crushed tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas, and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 35–40 minutes until lentils are completely soft and lamb is tender.

  3. 3

    Whisk the flour-water mixture until smooth. Stir into the soup and cook for 10 more minutes — this thickens the soup in the traditional Moroccan way. Add lemon juice, fresh cilantro, and parsley. Season generously with salt. Serve with dates, bread, and hard-boiled eggs during Ramadan or as a warming everyday soup.
