Onions peel, halve and in strips cut. Peel garlic and chop finely. Peel ginger and chop finely. Peel and wash carrots and parsnips and cut them into approx. 2 cm thick pieces. Dab the meat dry and possibly cut it into smaller pieces.
Heat the oil little by little in a casserole. Brown the meat in it in portions all around. Fry onions, garlic, ginger, carrots and parsnips briefly. Add all the meat again. Add tomatoes and 100 ml water. Season with salt, pepper and 1 tsp. cumin and turmeric. Cover and stew for about 1 1⁄2 hours at low heat. Add some more water if necessary.
In the meantime, peel the lemons thick enough to remove the white skin completely. Cut out the fillets with a sharp knife between the parting skins. After about 30 minutes add half of the lemon fillets.
Wash parsley, shake dry, pluck off leaves and chop finely. Fold in remaining lemon fillets and season the ragout with salt, pepper and sugar. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices as desired. Flatbread tastes good with it.
