Ingredients

* 1 lb. lamb, cut into small cubes

* 1 teaspoon turmeric

* 1 teaspoon pepper

* 1 teaspoon cinnamon

* 1/4 teaspoon ginger

* 2 Tablespoons butter

* 3/4 cup chopped celery and leaves

* 2 onions, chopped

* 1/2 cup parsley and cilantro, chopped

* 1 2-lb. can of tomatoes, chopped

* salt

* 3/4 cup lentils

* 1 cup chickpeas (canned are fine)

* 1/4 cup fine soup noodles

* 2 eggs, beaten with the juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions

Put the lamb(or beef if lamb is unavailable), spices, butter, celery, onion, and parsley/cilantro in a large soup pot and stir over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the tomato pieces, and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes. Salt lightly.

Add the juice from the tomatoes, 7 cups of water, and the lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for 2 hours.

When ready to serve, add the chickpeas and noodles and cook for 5 minutes. Then, with the soup at a steady simmer, stir the lemony eggs into the stock with a long wooden spoon. Continue stirring slowly, to create long egg strands and to thicken the soup. Season to taste. ladle into bowls and dust with cinnamon(optional). squeeze in some lemon.

serve with some dates (Medjool dates are recommended)

(you can use beef, if lamb is expensive or unavailable, just make sure the beef or lamb cubes are tender enough before serving)

This looks delicious Assya and what a wonderful job you did with the photos! I will substitute something for the lamb -- I'll probably go back to my very un-Moroccan pork (is that okay?!) I wish I like lamb, but...! L0L
