This Mediterranean Stew leans on lemon and herb to do the heavy lifting. We crisp the Lamb for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the lemon and herb elements, and pat the lamb dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the lamb. Fry until deeply crisp and golden, then drain on paper and season straight away.
Stir in the lemon and the rest of the lemon and herb flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the green beans along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
