Chickpeas and Minted Lamb Recipe

Chickpeas with minted lamb recipe by Chef Jeena.

You can eat this delicious dish served with bread, rice, salad or stirred through cooked rice.

First I brown off the lamb with spices and onions then finish the dish by steam cooking it with a lid on for 5 minutes, the texture of the lamb is left soft and melt in the mouth. I used freshly cooked chickpeas that I pressure cooked, you can use tinned chickpeas if you like.

Imagine the wonderful combination of lamb and fresh mint leaves with some aromatic spices and freshly cooked chickpeas, it tastes so amazing and you will love the taste.

This lamb and chickpea recipe is easy to cook and quick to prepare.
