Chickpeas with meat

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Ingredients

2. Step 2:

   

   Pre-soak chickpeas overnight in cold water. Boil for 30-40 minutes until soft.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the meat into small pieces

4. Step 4:

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the meat in small portions until golden brown.

5. Step 5:

   

   Meanwhile, chop the onion, garlic, bell pepper and chili.

7. Step 6:

   

   We put the fried meat in a separate container, put the vegetables in the pan and fry for a few minutes. (I drain the excess fat after roasting the meat, but you do as you are used to).

8. Step 7:

   

   Add meat to vegetables, mix, add dry herbs and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Tomatoes in their own juice are crushed in a blender (instead of canned tomatoes, you can use fresh ones, only first remove the skin or just take 1.5 tablespoons of tomato paste). Add tomatoes to the meat, pour in 1 tablespoon of water and simmer for about 30 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Simmer on low heat until the meat is soft.

11. Step 10:

    

    Add chickpeas and simmer for another 20 minutes (in general, in this case, you are determined by the softness of the meat). Add salt and pepper. And we select the consistency, this dish is something in between the first and the second, so if you want it thicker, boil it more, or vice versa, add more liquid. Enjoy your meal.
