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!
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Remove the bay leaf and any bones from the stew. Garnish stew with chopped fresh parsley.
