Greek Lamb Stew image

This is a wonderful and easy stovetop preparation that is a hearty meal for the whole family. I often serve it over rice or orzo, with a nice tomato and cucumber salad and good bread. A simple, fresh, and delicious taste of the Greek Isles!

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound lamb shoulder blade chops
salt and pepper to taste
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup dry red wine
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup lamb stock
½ lemon, zested and juiced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 bay leaf
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and pepper, add to the pot, and cook until deeply browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Stir in the onions and garlic, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the wine into the pot, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, lamb stock, lemon zest and juice, oregano, cinnamon, and bay leaf. Bring back to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lamb is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the green beans and cook until they are tender, about 20 additional minutes.
  • Remove the bay leaf and any bones from the stew. Garnish stew with chopped fresh parsley.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover lamb. It's also a great meal to make ahead of time and reheat later.
