Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

fresh and finely seasoned, spiciness can be freely adjusted

First, drain the chickpeas. Then, rinse the meat, pat dry, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Dust it very thinly with flour. Then, finely slice the onion into half rings. Heat the oil and fry the meat and onion for 3 minutes over medium heat. Deglaze with the stock, add the chickpeas and tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Cook for another 5 minutes over low heat. Meanwhile, mix the harissa spice mix with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a paste. Add the lemon juice to the meat. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Serve and garnish with some coriander leaves and the lemon zest. Add a dollop of harissa paste. Couscous, polenta, or rice are suitable accompaniments. This time, I decided to fry small polenta discs.
