What is Lamb Tail Chickpea Stew?
Lamb Tail Chickpea Stew is a traditional Turkish home-style dish in which chickpeas are slowly cooked with lamb tail. As the chickpeas soften, the tail enriches the broth with a deep meaty flavour and a pleasantly full, slightly gelatinous texture.
It is often served as a hearty main meal, especially in cooler weather, with rice, bread or a fresh salad. Chickpeas bring fibre and plant protein, while the lamb adds protein and iron. For a lighter serving, skim off some of the fat from the surface and pair the stew with salad rather than a generous portion of rice.
