A hearty and flavorful stew featuring tender lamb and green beans, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Using a heavy-bottomed pot ensures even heat distribution.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the lamb pieces and cook until browned on all sides.
Browning the meat adds depth to the flavor of the stew.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, parsley, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly.
Pour in half a cup of water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.
Simmering on low heat allows the meat to become tender.
Add the green beans and the remaining water, then cover and cook until the beans are tender.
Check the beans occasionally to ensure they don't overcook.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serving with a side of crusty bread enhances the meal.
