And of course having a hurricane lamp means that the hurricanes will not

    1/4 c  Water

           -or canned chick-peas
           -rinsed and drained
           Lemon wedges

MMMMM---------------------HARISSA PASTE (OPT--------------------------
      1 oz Small red whole
           -dried hot chile
           -soaked in water
           -to cover for 1 hour
    1/2 ts Ground coriander seeds
      1 ts Ground cumin seeds
    1/2 ts Caraway seeds
      2    Garlic clove(s)
           Salt to taste
           Olive oil
 
  Starter: Prepare 2-3 days in advance. Mix the flour and water
  together in a small non-metallic bowl, cover lightly with waxed paper
  and allow to ferment at room temperature in a warm place for 2-3
  days. Stir it each morning with a wooden spoon.
  
  Soup: Heat oil over medium heat in a heavy 7-qt. pot. Sear the lamb
  shank in the oil, add the chopped onions, celery and carrots. Add the
  pepper, cinnamon, allspice and saffron and sauté, stirring
  occasionally, over medium-low heat, until the vegetables are wilted.
  Add the chicken wings and water, raise the heat to medium and bring
  to a boil. Skim foam from surface and add the barley, rice and red
  lentils. Cover, lower heat to simmer and cook for 50 minutes.
  
  Lift out chicken wings and lamb shank and let meats cool enough to
  handle. Purée the tomatoes and tomato paste in the bowl of a food
  processor and add to the simmering soup. Then, in the same unwashed
  food processor, process the parsley, cilantro, and ¬ cup of water and
  add to the  soup. Stir in the salt and the cooked chick-peas and
  simmer for 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, remove the meat from the
  chicken wings and add to the soup. Then cut the lamb from the bone
  into bite-size pieces and add them to the soup as well. Add 2 tbs of
  the sourdough starter to the hot soup and stir occasionally to
  thicken the soup and to heat the meats.
  
  Serve in large bowls with a wedge of lemon to be squeezed into the
  soup at the table and Harissa paste, if desired.
  
  Harissa Paste: Drain the chile peppers, discarding the water, and add
  all the ingredients except the olive oil to a small spice mill and
  purée. Put the purée in a jar and float some olive oil on  the
  surface. Refrigerate; it will keep well for 2-3 weeks. Use sparingly.
