Ingredients
-
1 cup freekeh
-
12 ounces lamb meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
-
1 onion, grated
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
salt to taste
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped, divided
-
1 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped, divided
-
1 stalk celery
-
½ (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
-
4 cups water, or as needed
-
1 zucchini, diced
-
1 carrot, diced
-
1 tablespoon tomato paste
-
3 medium ripe tomatoes
-
1 potato, diced
Directions
-
Place freekeh in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside.
-
Combine lamb, onion, black pepper, paprika, cinnamon, and salt in a pot. Stir in oil, 1/2 the cilantro, 1/2 the mint, and celery stalk until combined. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Stir in chickpeas; pour in just enough water to cover, and return to a simmer. Stir in zucchini, carrot, and tomato paste.
-
Set a steamer over the pot; add tomatoes. Cover and steam tomatoes until soft, about 5 minutes. Crush tomatoes using a wooden spoon, so pulp drips into soup. Remove the steamer and discard leftover tomato peels.
-
Add potato to soup and just enough water to cover. Simmer until potato is soft, about 10 minutes.
-
Drain freekeh and add to soup. Simmer until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove celery stalk and discard. Sprinkle soup with remaining 1/2 cilantro and remaining 1/2 mint before serving.
