1- Cut the meat into small pieces and brown them in a little oil
2- Blend in a food processor: the onion, tomatoes, parsley, coriander and celery
3- Add this to the meat and let it brown.
4- Add the spices and stir
5- Pour water (approximately 1L to 1.5L) and bring to a boil for 20 min.
6- Then add the chickpeas and tomato concentrate and another liter of water.
7- Let cook for 15 minutes
8- Add the vermicelli while stirring without reducing the heat.
9- Halfway through cooking, add a little chopped flat parsley.
The vermicelli cooks very quickly, it should take about 10 min. If your chorba is quite liquid add more vermicelli and if on the contrary you find it well filled add a little water.
