Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven type pan over medium heat. Fry the onions until tender in the olive oil.
Step 2
Stir in the paprika. Add about 1 cup water to prevent onions and paprika from burning.
Step 3
Add carrots, garlic, tomato paste, tomatoes, cilantro (or parsley), turmeric and cinnamon and more water to cover.
Step 4
Simmer until the carrots begin to get slightly tender; add the potatoes and more water, if necessary, to cover. Simmer for about 1/2 hour.
Step 5
Add garbanzo beans and lemon juice. Adjust the amount of broth by adding more water if necessary. Simmer until beans are heated through.
Step 6
Adjust flavor by adding salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 7
Divide between 2 large bowls and garnish with cilantro or parsley.
