Syrian Lamb with Green Beans and Rice
Recipe courtesy Katherine Dickenson
Show:  Calling All Cooks
Episode:  Syrian Lamb/Krum Kake and Lefse
4 to 6 shoulder lamb chops, fat removed and bones in for flavor
3 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions chopped
2 large cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
1 small red pepper
1 teaspoon chopped dried Greek oregano
1/4 cup water
2 pounds fresh green beans, snapped and cut into bite size pieces
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste

Saute the chops in butter so they are brown on both sides. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, red pepper and seasoning and cook for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the green beans and tomatoes. Cover and cook for 1 hour on a medium fire checking occasionally to be sure the lamb mixture is not boiling too rapidly. The beans will be cooked more than we are used to but they will be bathed in the lamb tomato mixture which is divine.
