Herby leftover lamb stew with chickpeas
Background
This herby leftover lamb stew with chickpeas is made from leftover roast lamb. It’s easy, yummy and filling. If you don’t have any leftovers, then use diced lamb pieces which you can fry or grill first, then follow the recipe. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, couscous or flatbread and a crispy salad on the side.
