Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound lamb shoulder blade chops
salt and pepper to taste
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup lamb stock
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 bay leaf
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and pepper, add to the pot, and cook until deeply browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Stir in the onions and garlic, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
2
Pour the wine into the pot, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, lamb stock, lemon zest and juice, oregano, cinnamon, and bay leaf. Bring back to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lamb is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the green beans and cook until they are tender, about 20 additional minutes.
3
Remove the bay leaf and any bones from the stew. Garnish stew with chopped fresh parsley.
