Lamb Stew with Green Beans image

This recipe is great made with either fresh or frozen green beans. If you use frozen use the French style beans. This is Greek stew that my mom always made while I was growing up and has now been handed down to my children. Enjoy!

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 sprigs oregano
4 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more
2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 1" pieces
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
0 freshly ground pepper
8 ounces pearl onions, peeled
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup dry red wine
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup semi-pearled farro or wheat berries, rinsed
1 3/4 pounds baby turnips, trimmed, scrubbed, halved if large
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1" pieces on a diagonal
2 cups fresh (or frozen, thawed) peas
1 bunch dandelion greens, trimmed

Steps:

  • Tie together oregano, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves with kitchen twine.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 12-15 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate as you go.
  • Add onions to pot and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper and cook until starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 30 seconds before adding vinegar. Cook, scraping up browned bits, until syrupy, about 1 minute.
  • Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by about one-fourth, about 4 minutes. Add broth, lamb, and herb bundle. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently, partially covered, until lamb is tender, 75-85 minutes.
  • Stir in farro and cook until nearly al dente, 15-20 minutes. Remove herb bundle; add turnips. Cook until farro is cooked through, turnips are tender, and lamb is almost falling apart, 30-40 minutes. Mix in asparagus and peas; cook until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add greens and stir to wilt. Season with salt and pepper. Serve drizzled with oil.

LEBANESE-STYLE GREEN BEAN STEW



Lebanese-Style Green Bean Stew image

This recipe comes from Leah Leneman's book "Easy Vegan Cooking". I haven't made this yet, but unlike other green bean dishes I've tried, this one includes potatoes. It also has a good quantity of cumin, which is one of my favourite spices. Leah suggests this is served a main dish, with crusty wholewheat bread or pitta bread; and that is how I will be serving it.
