Preparation steps

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat.

Sweat the onion, carrot and garlic for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the spices and stir well, cooking for a further minute.

Add the chickpeas, lentils, chopped tomatoes, diced lamb and stock to the saucepan along with the bay leaf. Bring to the boil then reduce to a gentle simmer.

Cook for 25-30 minutes until the chickpeas, lentils and lamb are soft and tender. Adjust the seasoning as necessary and discard the bay leaf.

Spoon into soup bowls and garnish with a drizzle of the extra-virgin olive oil and a sprig of coriander leaves before serving.
