How to Make

  • 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.
