3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds lamb shoulder, chopped into pieces
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
2 tomatoes, diced
½ (10.75 ounce) can tomato puree
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon ras el hanout
1 pinch saffron threads
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ quarts water
6 (5.8 ounce) boxes couscous
4 zucchini, cut into thick slices
4 turnips, quartered
4 carrots, cut into thick slices
2 stalks celery, chopped
½ cup butter, softened

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add lamb; cook and stir until browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chickpeas, tomatoes, tomato puree, onion, ras el hanout, saffron, salt, and pepper. Cover with 1 1/2 quarts water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 30 minutes.
