Method:

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan.

Add the onion and fry for 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin and cinnamon and fry for another 1 minute.

Add the lamb knuckles and fry until golden brown.

Add the tomatoes, split peas and stock. Lower the heat, cover with the lid and simmer gently for 2 hours.

Cut the meat from the bones and return it to the soup along with the marrow. Add the chickpeas and cook for 15 minutes.

Season well with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped coriander just before serving.

If the soup is too thick, stir in more stock and bring back to the boil.
