AEGEAN FLAVOURS
A Culinary Celebration of Turkish Cuisine from Hot Smoked Lamb to Baked Figs
LAMB SHANKS WITH CHICKPEAS
I soak the chickpeas in water overnight, then drain them and add fresh water equivalent to about 3 times the weight of the chickpeas (in this case about 1 litre / 34 fl oz / 1 quart) and boil them for 20 minutes. I add a bay leaf and a peeled, whole onion. I don’t add salt because it toughens legumes and lengthens cooking time. I cut the remaining onion into thin slices, put them into another pan and sauté them in butter. I add rosemary, the remaining bay leaf, salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir. I put the lamb and 1 litre (34 fl oz / 1 quart) of boiling water into this pan and leave it to simmer. After 30 minutes, I strain the half-cooked chickpeas and put them into the pan with the lamb and cook the entire mixture for another hour. I prefer to serve lamb shank on the bone because the marrow and the bone enhance the flavor of the broth.
In my restaurant…
I serve this ideal winter dish with rice cooked with vermicelli, a common Turkish combination. If you prefer, you can simply serve it with toast.
