Method

  1. 1 Soak chickpeas and white beans for 8 hours, then drain.
  2. 2 Arrange the lamb, two types of beans, onion, and turmeric in an earthenware pot, then pour in enough water to cover them.
  3. 3 Simmer over the lowest heat for 2 hours and 30 minutes without stirring; the clay pot retains heat evenly, so the water doesn't evaporate quickly.
  4. 4 Add the potatoes, tomatoes, and lemon zest to the stew and simmer for the final 40 minutes.
  5. 5 Strain the broth into a separate bowl and keep it warm.
  6. 6 Mash the remaining meat and beans into a smooth paste right in the pot; these are two dishes from one pot.
