1. 1

   Heat the oil in a large pot, e.g. one for soup. Add the onion and the meat and let it take some colour.

2. 2

   Add enough water or broth to cover the meat, usually about 1 liter. Stir in the spices. Add the chickpeas right now, or they will never become soft!

3. 3

   Let it simmer on low for about 1 hour. After 1 hour, add the vegetables, make sure everything is slightly covered with water/broth. Let simmer for another hour.

4. 4

   After these two hours, vegetables should be soft, and you should be able to tear apart the meat with a spoon, as this is how it is eaten!

5. 5

   Check for seasoning and serve with steamed couscous!
