De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Ongeveer 2 min
2
Add the lamb cubes and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
Ongeveer 7 min
Tip van de kok: Browning the lamb adds depth of flavor to the soup.
3
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Ongeveer 5 min
4
Stir in the minced garlic, tomato paste, harissa, coriander powder, caraway powder, and paprika. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: Cooking the tomato paste helps deepen its flavor.
5
Return the seared lamb to the pot. Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Ongeveer 5 min
6
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes to tenderize the lamb.
Ongeveer 40 min
Tip van de kok: The lamb should be fork-tender after this simmering period.
7
Add the rinsed frik, chickpeas, and diced celery to the pot. Stir well.
Ongeveer 2 min
8
Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 20-25 minutes, or until the frik is cooked through and the soup has thickened to your desired consistency.
Ongeveer 25 min
Tip van de kok: Stir occasionally to prevent the frik from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
9
Stir in the fresh mint, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: Adding fresh herbs at the end preserves their vibrant flavor.
