Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 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.
Aproximativ 7 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 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.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 5 min.
6
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes to tenderize the lamb.
Aproximativ 40 min.
Nota bucătarului: The lamb should be fork-tender after this simmering period.
7
Add the rinsed frik, chickpeas, and diced celery to the pot. Stir well.
Aproximativ 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.
Aproximativ 25 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adding fresh herbs at the end preserves their vibrant flavor.
10
Ladle the chorba frik into bowls and serve hot, garnished with a lemon wedge if desired.
