👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Put the meat in a large pot with the water and add the onion, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt and black pepper.
    Large pot
  2. 2
    Bring to a boil and skim off the foam. Turn down to low and simmer about an hour and a half, until the meat is tender.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡Skim off the foam that rises at the boil, and after that only a gentle simmer: a hard boil clouds the soup and toughens the meat.
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Add the hummus, potatoes and tomatoes and cook another 30 minutes, until the potatoes is tender.
    Stove
  4. 4
    Remove the meat from the soup, take it off the bones and return the meat to the soup.
  5. 5
    Season the soup with the lemon juice.
  6. 6
    Eat with Taboon Bread for dipping.
