Meat with Zucchini and Chickpeas

A simple stew, but it did have everyone asking for seconds, and thirds, ... It smelled lovely, too. It seemed like a lot, and it was, but not as much as I thought. I guess it would serve about 5-6 people.

The liquid did not get absorbed, but that was fine, as it was very tasty. It just was a rather soupy stew.

I used lamb, and that worked very well. I don't think it would have been as good with beef. I served it over rice, which was perfect. Alternatively, it could be served with good white bread.

I added a bit of lemon juice at the end, a bit less than half a lemon.

This recipe makes me want to try the Meat Stew with Eggplants on p. 236 as well, as that is quite similar.
