Fresh green beans and succulent meat chunks simmered in a savory tomato and garlic sauce. A classic, nutritious, and hearty traditional meal.

🥄 Ingredients

• 1 kg fresh or frozen green beans
• 1 kg lamb on the bone, cut into small pieces, or 1 kg veal, cut into cubes
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon dried coriander
• ½ tablespoon salt
• 4 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 blended tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon vegetable seasoning powder (will give it a distinctive and wonderful flavor)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Place the garlic, coriander, and ghee in a pot and fry the garlic until golden brown. Add the dried coriander and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the meat and cook over high heat, stirring it with the garlic and coriander. Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes to allow the meat to brown and retain its juices. Do not add cold water to the meat, as this will impart an unpleasant odor; boiling water will neutralize it.
2. After frying the meat, add the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, stir, and cover the pot for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, boil 1.5 liters of water in a kettle and add it to the meat.
3. Let the meat cook until fully tender. Add the black pepper, beans, and salt, and continue cooking until the meat is fully cooked.

🌹 Decoration

Sprinkle black pepper on top, and that's enough.
