Preparation

Step 1

Season the lamb with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Place the lamb into the pot and sear until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. 

Step 3

Add the onions, carrots, turnips and garlic into the pot. Saute until soft and cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add the cinnamon stick and harissa and cook for about 5 more minutes. 

Step 4

Add the spinach, leeks, zucchini, fennel, celery, romaine lettuce and continue sauteeing for another 15 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked.

Step 5

Add the fava beans, peas, artichoke hearts, parsley, cilantro, mint and orange blossom water. Add enough water to reach ¾ the way up vegetables. Cook on a gentle simmer uncovered for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced to ¼ the original amount. 

Step 6

Serve hot with matzo or rice.
