Soak the chickpeas and white beans overnight for 8 hours.
Place the lamb shank, drained chickpeas, white beans, onion, turmeric, and hot water in a pot.
Cook the stew over low heat for 90 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, potatoes, tomato paste, dried lime, salt, and black pepper.
Cook abgoosht for 55 more minutes, until the meat separates from the bone.
Remove the meat, potatoes, and legumes with a slotted spoon and mash to a fork-soft texture.
Ladle the broth into bowls and serve the mashed part with lavash and pickles.
💡 Tip: If dried lime is unavailable, use lemon zest and a little lemon juice; lemon juice alone cannot give the deep dried citrus flavor of abgoosht.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the broth in small bowls and the mashed meat and legumes with lavash, pickles, and raw onion if desired.
