Green Beans with Lamb Stew
Succulent lamb with delicious green bean stew is the perfect warm meal for the family! Cooking beans, tomato, garlic, onion, and lamb together with the spices deepen the flavors and makes it the perfect meal for family and friends
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lamb loin chops or beef/lamb chunks
- 2 pounds fresh green beans chopped
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable bouillon powder
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1½ teaspoons cumin
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 small onion diced
- 4 large Roma tomatoes
- 12 ounces tomato sauce
- 6 cups water + more for meat cooking
- 10 cloves garlic but let's be real, my mom used ⅓ cup of garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Add the meat to a pot, then sprinkle the nutmeg and cover with water.
- Let it boil for 10 minutes before discarding the water.
- Add the diced onions and mix with the meat and sauté until softened.
- You can add a tablespoon of oil if you'd like.
- Sprinkle the spices and mix once again before adding the water.
- Let it cook on low heat, covered, for 35 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Alternatively you can just use all tomato sauce instead of fresh tomatoes.
- Once completely liquified, add to the pot and mix, then add the chopped green beans.
- Close the lid and let it simmer for about 30 mins.
- Once meat is tender and the green beans are soft, sauté the minced garlic in olive oil in a pan until golden, then add it to the pot and give it a mix before serving.
Notes
- You can turn this stew into a vegetarian one by removing the lamb and adding more tomato sauce or vegetable broth.
- You can use leg of lamb, boneless lamb shoulder, or a tender cut of beef.
- Leftover lamb or roast beef can be also used.
