Good morning! I am so excited to share with you possibly the easiest dish ever! Ya you heard it right. What if I told you that you could pack so much flavor in one pot without really taking much time to do it. You would be all over it … right? Well I am here to share with you a dish my mom always makes every summer when the string beans are in season. I will call it for simplicity sake – ” String Beans with Lamb “.
Now coming from a slight Lebanese background – lamb is heavily used. At our house it is more of a rare occasion but I love it none the less. Here is the low down on how to prepare this simple dish that works great anytime of the year.
Ingredients
- Yellow String Beans (Green will work)
- 4 Cups Tomato Juice
- Seared Lamb pieces
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Wash and Stem all the beans
- Place beans in a large pot
- Add tomato juice, lamb, salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 60-75 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Zesty Tip: If you have a large amount of extra tomatoes and are concerned about canned tomato juice – you an simply make your own. Boil the tomatoes in water then remove and puree with a blender/food processor and then strain the seeds.
Lets just say it is super late on Monday night as I write this post due to a wild and exciting adventure I will share with you later this week. Have a great Tuesday and I look forward to hearing from you. I think you will like the flavor of this simple dish. The beauty of 5 ingredients or less can be found here.
Take care

this sounds so good. I’ve got to look for some lamb.
yumm, ive never tried yellow string beans before! ive also been looking for quick+easy lamb recipes so I can’t wait to try this one. thanks zesty!
I’ve always been a little bit afraid about trying lamb, but this looks so hearty and delicious!
Cooking lamb has always intimidated me, not sure why? This is a recipe I would try though. Looks good Zesty!!!
that looks so warm and comforting – perfect for cold weather.
That not only sounds good, but looks great too! I will have to try this one.
My mother in law made cabbage rolls with lamb and rice, and then put the lamb bones in a large pot and layered tomatoes, cabbage rolls, and salt, pepper, and then simmered this pot for a long time till cabbage rolls were tender. We then put a roll in a half slice of syrian bread and had soup from the tomatoes and string beans.
(she cut the meat off the lamb (neck) and sauteed it and mixed it with rice. I make it sometimes but not as well as her – my needs some more seasoning.
