Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tb Olive oil
1 lg Onion (thinly sliced)
4 Garlic cloves, minced
3 lb Lamb cut into
-stew-sized cubes and
-carefully trimmed of fat
4 lb Tomatoes, cooked
-(2 large cans)
3 Bay leaves
Lemon juice
1 tb Hungarian paprika
1 t Celery salt
1/2 ts Cumin, ground
1/8 ts Cayenne
1 d Allspice
1 d Cinnamon, ground
1 1/2 lb Green beans, fresh,
-washed and trimmed

In a steeped, saute onion in olive oil on medium-low
heat until golden brown. Add garlic in the last 2-3
minutes. Add lamb cubes and saute until brown. Add
tomatoes and simmer until meat is tender. Keep an eye
on the liquid; add water or red wine if it becomes dry.

Add bay leaves, lemon juice and spices. Simmer on low
heat for at least 2 hours. About 1/2 hour before
pronouncing it done, add the green beans. Serve with
plain yogurt and pita bread.

NOTES:

* Fragrant lamb stew -- This recipe comes from Margo
Kaiser, with whom I used to work. It's a delicious
stew, spiced fragrantly but not hot. It's one of my
favorites. It's also very easy. The most tedious work
is trimming the lamb, and you can get the butcher to
take care of that.

The spice mixture is my attempt to re-create Margo's
"secret spice" (she didn't offer that recipe). Feel
free to try your own variations. If you hit on one
that you feel is particularly good, please let me know
about it. Yield: serves 6 to 8.

* I prefer to cook to the point of simmering,
refrigerate overnight, and then finish cooking the
next evening. This greatly enhances the flavor. When
you take the stew from the refrigerator, skim any lamb
fat that has congealed on the top before continuing.

* I find that many butchers don't understand that I
want good quality meat in stews. I get better quality,
more carefully trimmed meat by telling them that I
want lamb cubes cut for shish kebab.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 20 minutes preparation, several hours cooking.
: Precision: measure the spices.
