Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
For chickpeas with lamb, turmeric & paprika,
follow the recipe as for Chickpea & chicken k’dra, replacing the chicken thighs with 8 lamb chops. Finely chop a bunch of mint and add it to the dish at the end of the cooking process with the chopped parsley and coriander.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
