Fasolia (Green Bean Stew)

This Syrian recipe was given to me by a friend. I love it because after I make it, I can just pop it in the freezer and eat it whenever! Serve hot with rice mixed with brown egg noodles. Enjoy!

Step: 1

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir lamb neck bones in hot butter until browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

Step: 2

Stir water, tomato sauce, salt, allspice, and pepper together in a small bowl; pour into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the skillet, and cook until the meat pulls away from the neck bones, about 45 minutes.

Step: 3

Put green beans and potatoes into the skillet so they are in liquid, replace cover, and continue cooking until the beans are tender and the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove and discard bones before serving.

The word “stew” can refer to 2 time a food and a cooking method. Stewing involves not fast cooking chunks of meat, raw fruit or beans in a tastefull water based . It’s same as to braising, but it does have a few notable differences. The raw animal vested is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked whole , and the liquid all of it covers the essential in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for being a rib-sticking eating process that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
