If you are anything like me, it’s easy to get stuck in a cooking rut. Even though I routinely push myself out of my comfort zone, experimenting with different flavors or cultural foods, I really don’t do it often enough.

Spicy Lamb Chickpea Shawarma Stew

Most of the meals that I make at home are pretty simple and have similar flavors that we grew up eating. However, today I took a leap and got a little funky in the kitchen creating a delicious, hearty Spicy Lamb Chickpea Shawarma Stew!

And even though it’s packed full of spices, you’ll see that I took a short cut. Instead of making a complicated blend of different spices, I started with garam masala, which isn’t typically used in Shawarma but gives us an easy starting point without requiring too many unique ingredients.
