Chorba frik is a soup frequently prepared during the month of Ramadan. It is usually accompanied by briks or b?reks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup freekeh
- ¾ pound lamb meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 onion, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- salt to taste
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped, divided
- 1 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped, divided
- 1 stalk celery
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
- 4 cups water, or as needed
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 potato, diced
Directions
Step 1
Place freekeh in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside.
Step 2
Combine lamb, onion, pepper, paprika, cinnamon, and salt in a pot. Add 1/2 of the cilantro, 1/2 of the mint, celery stalk, and oil; mix well. 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.
Step 3
Set a steamer over the pot and 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.
Step 4
Add potato to soup and just enough water to cover. Simmer until potato is soft, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Drain freekeh and add to soup. Simmer until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove celery stalk. Sprinkle soup with remaining cilantro and mint before serving.
