LAMB AND ASPARAGUS STEW

Lamb and Asparagus Stew image

This Middle Eastern stew can make for some great comfort food. It only takes about half an hour to cook, and it's dead easy. This recipe is mostly Iranian in origin; the Iranians use okra instead of asparagus, but asparagus is much easier to find. If you can get a hold of some fresh okra, then it's easy to substitute.

We just loved this recipe - solid in every way. Our preference has been to dice the veggies before cooking, but it's terrific either way!
