}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Melt the [[smen]] or [[Butter|butter]] in a large saucepan, add the [[Onion|onion]] and [[Fry|fry]] until soft.
| Add the [[Meat|meat]], [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] and [[Tomato|tomato]] purée and cook for 5 minutes.
| Add the [[Stock|stock]], drained [[Chickpeas|chickpeas]] and the [[Spices|spices]] and stir well.
| Bring to the [[Boil|boil]] and place a [[Muslin|muslin]] lined [[Colander|colander]] over the top of the pan.
| Break the [[Noodles|noodles]] or [[Spaghetti|spaghetti]] into 5 cm lengths and place them in the [[Colander|colander]] with a little of the [[Meat|meat]] [[Sauce|sauce]]. If using a proper [[couscoussière]], add the noodles 15-20 minutes before the end of the cooking time, moistening them regularly with the [[Sauce|sauce]].
| Cover the [[Colander|colander]], lower the heat and [[Simmer|simmer]] for 20 minutes.
| Remove 1 or 2 ladlefuls of the [[Sauce|sauce]] from the pan and again, pour it over the [[Noodles|noodles]], making sure that all pieces are moistened.
| Cover the [[Colander|colander]] again and [[Simmer|simmer]] for a further 40 minutes until the [[Meat|meat]] and [[Chickpeas|chickpeas]] are tender, moistening the [[Noodles|noodles]] every 10 minutes. If using tinned [[chickpeas]], add them 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
| Add more water or [[Stock|stock]] to the [[Stew|stew]] if necessary.
| To serve, spread the [[Noodles|noodles]] in a large serving dish and pour the [[Meat|meat]] and [[Chickpea|chickpea]] [[Stew|stew]] over them.
}}
===Variations===
If you don't want the hassle of cooking the [[Noodles|noodles]] over the [[Stew|stew]], simply [[Boil|boil]] them in plain water. However, they will not take on the flavour of the [[Sauce|sauce]].
