How to Make Green Beans Lebanese

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb and bones; brown on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, and allspice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Transfer the tomato mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the browned lamb and bones. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the trimmed green beans and enough hot water to just cover the beans. Cover the saucepan and cook for 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp.
  6. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. If you prefer a less juicy dish, uncover the saucepan and simmer for another 10-15 minutes to reduce the liquid.
  8. Remove the lamb bones before serving.
  9. For best flavor, prepare a day ahead and reheat before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
