Peel the golevez, cut into large cubes, rub with lemon juice, and rinse in cold water.
Dice the onion small and soften in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef and saute for 6 minutes, breaking it apart.
Add the grated tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper and cook for 5 minutes into a sauce.
Add the golevez, carrot, and boiled chickpeas to the pot.
Add the hot water, cover, and cook for 28 minutes.
When the golevez is tender, uncover and cook for 7 more minutes to thicken.
Rest the dish for 10 minutes and serve hot with lemon wedges.
💡 Tip: Rubbing golevez with lemon after cutting balances its slippery texture and keeps the dish pale.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with plain rice pilaf and a shepherd's salad with plenty of lemon.
