How to Make Greek Braised Lamb With Green Beans And Tomato

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs of cubed lamb shoulder and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 1 lb of trimmed green beans to the pot. Stir to combine.
  4. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften.
  5. Stir in 28 ounces of passata (crushed tomatoes), 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the lamb is fork-tender and the green beans are tender-crisp.
  7. Check the liquid level at the 30-minute mark. If there's too much liquid, remove the lid and continue simmering until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  8. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with extra fresh mint, if desired.
