Chef Patrick's Comment

Good recipe. A few small details; double the quantities of lentils and chickpeas so your harira won't need to be thickened at the end, for the veal if you have a little money take the filet finally for the neck, remove it at the end of cooking bone it and cut into small pieces before putting them back in your harira.
