Etli Nohut (chickpeas and beef stew)

I am making chickpeas and beef stew tonight. It is a traditional Turkish recipe but I might add my own tweak to it :) I already soaked the chickpeas over night. This is the part I always forget to do, so I never get to cook this delicious dish. 



Here is the recipe I'll be using:

Ingredients
400 grams chickpeas
2 medium onions
250 diced lamb (i will use beef)
40 grams margarine or vegetable oil
20 grams tomato paste
Salt

Directions
Cooking time: 35 Minutes
Serves : 4 
1-Soak chickpeas in salted water overnight. Drain and wash under cold water. Place in large pan, cover with water and cook chickpeas until soft. Drain. Brown meat and onions in margarine. 
2-Add tomato paste and stir through for two minutes. Add enough water to pan to cover meat. 3-Cook meat until tender. Rinse cooked chickpeas and add to meat. Salt to taste and add more water to cover chickpeas. Cook for further fifteen minutes.

Photos to come later...
