Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Soak the chickpeas in cold water in advance (ideally for 24 hours, but at least for 12 hours) until they swell to 2-3 times their original size. Once the chickpeas are ready, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water.
Step 2
Take a cauldron (or a large deep skillet if you don't have one). Cut the beef (you can substitute it with lamb) into small cubes and sauté in melted (or butter) until browned and crispy.
Step 3
Pour boiling water over the tomatoes.
Step 4
Once the beef is browned, add the chickpeas. Stir continuously to ensure that the water evaporates. After that, sauté the beef with the chickpeas for 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 5
Next, pour water over the mixture (enough to fully cover the chickpeas), bring to a boil, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 1 hour (adding more water as needed during the simmering process).
Step 6
Ten minutes before the chickpeas and beef are done cooking, prepare the vegetables. Peel the tomatoes and dice them. Dice the bell pepper (preferably red), and slice the chili pepper into rounds.
Step 7
As soon as the chickpeas and beef are stewed, add the tomatoes. Stir well. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and chili pepper, then stir again. Add a little water, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 20–30 minutes.
Step 8
Slice the onion into thin half-rings, rinse well under cold running water, drain, and season with salt and pepper. Set the onion aside.
Step 9
As soon as the dish has simmered for the second time (the water should be completely evaporated) — squeeze in 3 cloves of garlic (you can also grate them on a fine grater), mix well, and turn off the heat immediately.
Step 10
Arrange the chickpeas and meat on plates, placing the onions on the side.
