Greek Lamb and Green Bean Stew
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 3 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 3 cups hot water
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the large pot over medium heat by warming the oil. Sear the onion and celery until they reach a golden color, which indicates they are caramelized. Introduce the lamb into the pot and cook until it is uniformly browned, signifying that it has reached a desirable level of browning. Combine the lamb with the tomato sauce and water, stirring well to create a harmonious blend of flavors. Gradually decrease the heat, allowing the mixture to simmer gently for approximately 1 hour.

Then, add the green beans to the pot and stir them in, merging their flavors with the existing mixture. Sprinkle a pinch of parsley, mint, dill, cinnamon, sugar, salt, and pepper over the green beans to enhance their flavor profile. Continue cooking until the green beans have become tender, at which point they will be perfectly cooked.
