Fasolyah Bel Laham (the first attempt)

I came across of this Arabic recipe in Gulfnews’ Food Recipe section and I decided to make it at home.  I however substitute some of the ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil (instead of clarified butter)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 kg lamb (instead of beef), cut into medium-size cubes
• 1 can white broad beans
• 1/2 tbsp coriander powder
• 20ml tomato paste
• 4 cups water, more if necessary
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking direction

• In a casserole, sauté onion and garlic till translucent. Put in the lamb cubes and sear till it turns little brownish.
• Add the tomato paste, coriander, ground pepper and season with salt. Put water, stir and bring to boil. Simmer in low heat till meat is tender. Add more water if necessary to tenderize the lamb.
• Once the meat is cooked, add the white beans and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Serve & enjoy.
