Chorba Lsan Tair ~ Moroccan Orzo Meat Soup
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 200 gm beef cut into strips
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small carrot chopped
- 1 small onion minced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 to mato chopped
- 1/2 bunch coriander leaves
- 2 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dry ginger powder
- 1 cube/ sachet seasoning I used olive oil-herbs, optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup orzo pasta - I used normal macaroni
- A blob butter
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and stir fry the beef strips till it looks whitish.
- Add the carrots and saute for a few minutes,
- Add in the minced onion and cook till it wilts. Add in the tomato paste and cook for a minute.
- Now add in all the other ingredients along with 1 liter of water. Bring it to a rolling boil.
- Keep on medium-high flame and cook closed till the beef is done, and the vegetables are cooked. As the pasta cooks, it may start thickening so you can add another two cups of water to loosen it up and cook for a further 10 minutes.
- Adjust the seasoning, add more ginger powder if needed and serve hot.
Notes
You can substitute beef with chicken or mutton.
You can skip the vegetables, or add more like potatoes and french beans.
You can add fresh parsely instead of dried one. Since I didn't have fresh, I used the dried parsely.
The recipes also show the use of celery in the recipe. Use one celery while boiling the water and discard off just before serving.
You can use fresh ginger instead of dry ginger.
As mentioned, orzo is normally used for this soup, but I have used normal macaroni available with me.
