  • 3 pounds lean beef ornlamb cubes
  • ½ dozen meat bones
  • 3 quarts 12 cups water
  • 2 large onions
  • 1 bunch flat parsley
  • 1 bunch cilantro tough stems removed
  • 3 medium carrots
  • 3 large potatoes
  • 2 red peppers
  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 3 tablespoons Jamie Geller Hawaij
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • ⅓ cup fenugreek powder
  • 1 small can tomato paste
  • Salt to taste Put it all the way at the end, and only if necessary; you might not need any, as the meat is salty.

Instructions

  • Bring meat and water to a boil in a large pot. Reduce to medium and cook, covered for one hour. 
  • In a food processor, coarsely grind the onions, parsley, and cilantro, and add to the pot. 
  • Dice all the vegetables small and add to the pot (no time for dicing? No problem: shred them all in the food processor), with all remaining ingredients. Cook 2 more hours.
  • Adjust the texture and seasonings.
