Use the scaled ingredient list. Steps and temperatures stay unchanged; use a larger pan or dish if needed. Seasonings to taste stay to taste.
How to make it
Brown the meat with the onion and celery in ghee for ten minutes.
Add the grated tomato, tomato paste, cinnamon, salt and pepper and cook five minutes.
Pour in two litres of boiling water, add the chickpeas and simmer forty minutes.
Rinse the freekeh, add it and cook twenty minutes more, stirring; the grain settles and catches.
Stir in the coriander five minutes before the end and loosen with water if the soup has gone too thick.
Ladle out, crumble dried mint over each bowl and add lemon juice.
