GREEN BEANS ALGERIAN-STYLE

Found this recipe on the web recently. Love the combination of flavors. Use the best quality green beans available. Canned beans won't work in this recipe. UPDATE: I've eliminated the step for submerging the beans in ice cold water per suggestion of a reviewer. Always room for improvement!

ALGERIAN GREEN BEAN AND LAMB TAGINE



Algerian Green Bean and Lamb Tagine image

Since trying Chia's Recipe #89278 we discovered just how yummy North African food is! This recipe is from the "The Great Book of Couscous". I have adapted it slightly as I do not like the taste of raw/undercooked tomatoes, but I have also included the original directions. Simple, tasty and hearty- great served over, surprisingly enough, couscous. Enjoy!

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons oil
2 lbs boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon saffron (I used 1/4 tsp each) or 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (I used 1/4 tsp each)
4 cups water
1 1/2 lbs green beans, cut into 2 inch pieces (I used frozen)
2 tomatoes, diced or 2 tomatoes, sliced into rounds
1 medium onion, sliced in rings
4 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan or soup pot.
  • Add the lamb, onion and garlic and sauté until lamb is browned.
  • Add the salt, pepper, 1 tsp cumin, cayenne and saffron or turmeric and sauté a minute more.
  • The original recipe calls for the sliced tomatoes to be added with the second onion/parsley/cumin; if you would rather do it this way, do not add them in the following step.
  • Add water and tomatoes (if using here) and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes.
  • Add the green beans and simmer for about 10 minutes more, until almost tender.
  • Add the sliced onion, tomatoes (if using here), parsley and remaining 1 tsp cumin.
  • Simmer for about 10 minutes more.
  • Serve hot over couscous.
