Background

This Moroccan lamb and chickpea pilaf is easy to prepare, yet the result is really lovely and flavoursome, perfect for family get-togethers, parties or lazy weekend meals.

Ingredients

400g diced lamb
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
2 cm ginger piece
2 tsp Ras el Hanout spice mix
250g basmati rice
500 ml chicken stock
75g dried apricots
1 can of chickpeas
1 handful of parsley leaves

Instructions

Thinly slice the onion, finely chop the garlic, ginger and apricots.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas.
Heat the oil in a frying pan, then season the lamb and brown on all sides. Transfer the lamb pieces to a plate.
In the same pan, gently soften the onion, then add the garlic, ginger and spice mixture. Stir for a couple of minutes.
Add the rice, stir for a minute, then put the meat back, and pour over the stock. Bring to the boil, then cook for 10 minutes over low heat, under a lid.
Add the apricots and chickpeas. Cook for another 10-15 minutes. It’s ready when the rice is tender (al dente).
Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
