Chorba Hamra bel Frik (Algerian Lamb, Tomato, and Freekeh Soup)

Recipes :

1 cup Freekeh

12 ounces Lamb

1 finely chopped Onion

1 tsp Black Pepper

1 tsp Paprika

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp Salt

To taste Salt

3 tablespoons Cilantro

1 bunch Mint

1 Celery

14 oz jar Chickpeas

4 cups Water

1 Diced Zucchini

1 Diced Carrots

1 tablespoon Tomato Puree

3 Medium Tomato

1 Diced Potatoes

Instructions :

  • 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.
