Method

  1. 1 Soak black chickpeas for 8 hours, then drain.
  2. 2 Tying rice in a cloth bag to allow it to swell into a separate mass is the method used by hamin Sephardi.
  3. 3 Arrange the potatoes to cover the bottom of the pot, then add the lamb, chickpeas, dates, and the bag of rice.
  4. 4 Place the whole eggs on top, then sprinkle with baharat, turmeric, and cinnamon.
  5. 5 Fill the pot with water and simmer at 100 degrees Celsius for 11 hours without opening the lid.
  6. 6 Eggs simmered for 11 hours have a brownish, rich yolk, which is what distinguishes hamin from regular stews.
