👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Warm olive oil in a large casserole over medium heat. Add the grated onion and lamb pieces. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is lightly browned and the onions are softened.
2
Add the grated tomatoes, tomato paste, chopped coriander, ground ginger, saffron threads, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.
3
Add the chopped carrots, celery, and soaked chickpeas (if using dried). Pour in 1 liter of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the lamb is almost cooked.
4
Add the chopped courgette and chickpeas (if using canned). Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the lamb, courgette, and chickpeas are tender.
5
Bring the stew to a gentle boil. Add the M'hamsa couscous and stir to combine. Cover and cook for 7-9 minutes, or until the M'hamsa is cooked through and has absorbed some of the liquid. Adjust water if the stew becomes too thick.
6
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
