Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound boneless lamb shoulder, well-trimmed of fat and diced fine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups canned tomato puree
3 to 4 tablespoons harissa (chili paste, sold in fancy food or Middle Eastern shops)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
3/4 cup fine pearl barley, millet or orzo
1 lemon, in 6 wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large heavy saucepan. Season lamb with salt and pepper, and add to pan. Saute over medium-high heat, stirring, until it has browned.
  • Mix 1/2 cup of the tomato puree with 1/2 cup water, and add it to the pan along with 3 tablespoons of the harissa. Cook for a couple of minutes; add the onion, celery, parsley and the remaining tomato puree. Stir in 3 cups water. Bring to a simmer, and cook over low heat, covered, until the lamb is very tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Add another 3 cups water, and bring to a boil. Slowly add the barley, millet or orzo in a thin stream, stirring. Cook about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and harissa if desired. Serve with lemon wedges.

The lamb was tough and the broth was lacking in flavor.

I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful this soup turned out. I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I found the meat to be tender and juicy in this dish.
