Cooking Soups Harira (Moroccan lamb, tomato & lentil soup)

Omit the yoghurt from this recipe and youve got a great dairy-free soup.

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Season the lamb, then in batches, cook, turning, for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until softened. Return the lamb to the pan with the tomato paste, spices and bay leaf. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then add the stock, chopped tomato and coriander. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 1 hour, then stir in chickpeas and lentils. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for a further 30 minutes or until the lamb is tender and the soup is slightly reduced and thickened.
  3. Garnish with extra coriander and serve with yoghurt and pita bread.
