Instructions

Prep

1 Prep

  • Drain the chickpeas.
  • Peel and slice the onion in quarters.
  • Finely chop the dill (stems included).
Prep dried lemons

2 Prep dried lemons

  • Rinse the dried lemons.
  • With one hand, hold tightly and using a fork, gently pierce several holes through the skin and all the way around, 3-4 times.
Tip! Piercing the dried lemons will help them soften and infuse their flavour better while braising in the stew.
Make stew

3 Make stew

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat with a small drizzle of oil.
  • Fry the onion, turmeric, and cardamom pods for 2-3 min.
  • Add the lamb shanks and fry for 3 min until lightly browned.
  • Add the chickpeas, measured water, chicken stock cube, saffron water, and dried lemon.
  • Cover and cook for 40-45 min, flipping the lamb shanks in between, until it's tender.
Tip! Got an Instant pot or pressure cooker? Cook the shanks on high pressure for 15 to 20 minutes, then allow for a natural release.
Cook rice

4 Cook rice

  • Meanwhile, rinse and drain the rice.
  • Add the rice, dill, fenugreek, a pinch of salt, and the measured water to a pot with a lid.
  • Bring to a boil over a high heat. Lower heat, cover and cook for 12-14 min, until the rice is tender.
  • Remove from the heat and keep covered until serving.
Make salad

5 Make salad

  • Meanwhile, pick and finely chop the mint.
  • Slice the lime in half.
  • Chop the cucumbers into small bite-sized pieces.
  • Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
  • In a bowl, combine the mint, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, a pinch of salt and pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and a good squeeze of lime, to taste.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Serve the Persian Saffron Lamb and Chickpea Stew on Dill Rice with Shirazi Salad and yogurt alongside.
Tip! For more citrus flavour, give the dried lemon a gentle squeeze in the stew at the end of cooking.
