Steps:
- Heat oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat; add lamb, and cook, stirring, until browned all over, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer lamb to a plate; set aside. Add garlic, bay leaves, onion, salt, and pepper to pot, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 15 minutes. Add lamb, paprika, and 4 cups water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, covered and stirring occasionally, until lamb is barely tender, about 20 minutes. Add potatoes and beans, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lamb and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together sour cream and flour until smooth; add to soup, and stir until smooth and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. To serve, ladle soup into 4 serving bowls, swirl with more sour cream, if you like, and garnish with dill.
PALOCLEVES
Janos Gundel, who was the founder of the Gundel dynasty, created this soup recipe for Kalman Mikszath, when the Hungarian famous writer once asked him "something to eat, which has all the tastes, aromas, finenesses and delicacies in it". Mikszath was born in the north part of Hungary, from "Paloc-land" - so their friends gave the name after his motherland to this soup - and it became "Palocleves". This recipe is from a Hungarian Cookbook: Gundel - Uj Magyar Szakacskonyv, and I have translated it for you, with many other recipes at the www.cookbook.hu.

GERMAN LAMB IN SOUR CREAM (CROCK POT) (AKA TREASURE TROVE #1)
A few days ago I discovered a long-lost treasure trove of recipes I had copied while in Dallas & sent to Iceland for safe keeping. The effort was forgotten over time in the excitement of coming here & DH hid them so safely that it was nearly 4 yrs b4 I found them & realized what they were. In my pre-RZ cooking phase, I used 3 main recipe sources. My best guess is this may have been a Food Network recipe & I will be guessing w/ea I enter. This is treasure trove #1 & was chosen because I love lamb, German fare & using my crock pot often. Enjoy! (# of servings & times have been estimated)
