Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.

Return the browned meat to the pot. Add the cooked or canned chickpeas and dried apricots. Season with salt and black pepper.

Check the liquid level periodically and add more water or broth if needed to maintain a stew-like consistency.
