“This is the soup that Moroccans traditionally use to break the fast every night of Ramadan. Season with salt, pepper, mint leaves and cinnamon to taste.”

Ingredients

  • 1 pound cubed lamb meat
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 3/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1 onion, chopped

 

  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes (800 g)
  • 7 cups water
  • 3/4 cup green lentils
  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (400g)
  • 4 ounces lentils (100g)
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

  1. Place the lamb, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, butter, celery, onion, and cilantro into a large soup pot over a low heat. Stir frequently for 5 minutes. Pour tomatoes (reserve juice) into the mixture and let simmer for 15 minutes.
