Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 to 6 shoulder lamb chops, fat removed and bones in for flavor
3 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions chopped
2 large cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
1 small red pepper
1 teaspoon chopped dried Greek oregano
1/4 cup water
2 pounds fresh green beans, snapped and cut into bite size pieces
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 stick butter
1/4 to 1/2 cup broken vermicelli
1 bay leaf
1 small red pepper, chopped
2 cloves chopped garlic
2 cups basmati or long grain rice
4 cups chicken stock
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Saute the chops in butter so they are brown on both sides. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, red pepper and seasoning and cook for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the green beans and tomatoes. Cover and cook for 1 hour on a medium fire checking occasionally to be sure the lamb mixture is not boiling too rapidly. The beans will be cooked more than we are used to but they will be bathed in the lamb tomato mixture which is divine.
  • For the rice pilaf: In the melted butter saute the vermicelli, bay leaf, and red pepper until the noodles are golden. Watch carefully and add the garlic so it sautes too. Noodles should be golden. Be careful not to brown. Add the rice and cook for a minute. When ready to serve add the chicken stock and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 25 minutes.

I learned how to make this while visiting my husband's family in Syria. It can be a healthy, fast, easy vegetarian/vegan main dish for lunch or dinner that is surprisingly filling when eaten with pita bread, or it can be a flavorful side dish.

This is how my mom always made green beans. She got the recipe from a neighbor when we lived in Turkey. Make a double batch as they make an excellent healthy snack straight from the fridge. Add a thinly sliced onion and red bell pepper if you like. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho
