Categories: Lamb/mutton, Citrus, Vegetables
     Yield: 4 servings

     1 lb Ground lamb
     2 md Yellow onions; 1 fine
          - grated; and 1 fine chop'd,
          - divided
   1/3 c  Chickpea flour
     2 tb Kosher salt; divided
     3 tb Ground turmeric; divided
     4 ts Fresh ground black pepper;
          - divided
   1/4 c  Oil
   1/2 c  Fresh lemon juice
    21 oz Carrots; peeled, in 1"
          - cubes
    10 oz Yellow potatoes; peeled, in
          - 1" cubes

 In a large bowl, add the lamb, grated onion, chickpea
 flour, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon turmeric, and 2
 teaspoons pepper. Use your hands to mix well, then shape
 into balls about 1" diameter (You should have about 33
 meatballs, weighing 1/4 oz each). Set aside while you
 make the sauce.

 In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the oil.
 When the oil is hot, add the chopped onions and the
 remaining 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring
 occasionally until the onions are soft and just
 beginning to turn golden, 15-18 minutes.

 Add the remaining 2 tablespoons turmeric and continue
 cooking, stirring until completely combined, about 1
 minute. Add 3 cups cold water and increase the heat to
 medium-high. Add the lemon juice and remaining 2
 teaspoons pepper.

 Bring to a boil, then regulate the heat to maintain a
 strong simmer. Gently add the meatballs and cook for 5
 minutes, then gently stir in the carrots and potatoes.

 Bring back to a boil, then lower the heat to low and
 simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, the
 vegetables are tender when poked with a fork, and the
 sauce is thickened, about 1 hour.

 Serve immediately.
