Method

Put the salt and saffron, pepper, cinnamon, a chopped onion, chickpeas and the meat in the taoua, cover with water and cook for about two hours. Then add the almonds. After they have cooked for half an hour take them out and put in the rest of the finely chopped onion and the parsley. Cook till the onions are quite soft and form a purée and the liquid is very much reduced.
