Instructions
- Drain the soaked chickpeas and cook them in unsalted water for about 45 minutes, until tender.
- In a large pot, bring the meat to the boil with the water, the whole onion, the carrot, the bay leaf and salt. Skim regularly.
- Simmer gently for 1 hour 30 minutes until the meat is very tender and the broth is flavourful.
- Tear the flatbread into pieces in a large, deep dish and set aside.
- Remove the meat and the onion, then strain the broth. Finely shred the meat and set it aside.
- Fry the remaining chopped onion and garlic in a little broth, add the grated tomato and turmeric, then pour everything into the broth.
- Pour the piping-hot broth over the bread so it soaks in, then arrange the meat and chickpeas on top.
- Finish with the lemon juice and chopped coriander, and serve straight away.
Variations and tips
Vegetable version. Replace the meat with potatoes and courgettes simmered in the same turmeric-scented broth.
