LAMB STEW WITH GREEN BEANS
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!

LEBANESE GREEN BEAN STEW (LOUBIA B'ZEIT)
Steps:
- Peel and chop the onion into strips and the garlic finely, keeping them separate.
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a wide sauté pan and sauté the onions until caramalised on a low heat. This may take twenty minutes plus but is worth the effort.

- Wash and trim the ends of the green beans and sauté with the garlic and onion mix for ten minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, chilli and water.
- Bring to a boil and cover with a lid.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cooking for 30-40 mins until the beans are well done, taking care the sauce doesn't run dry.
- Serve with warm pitta bread.
LEBANESE-STYLE GREEN BEAN STEW
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.
