Lamb Broad bean Stew

Growing up in a bustling household of nine, my mum’s kitchen was always filled with the warm, comforting aromas of her stews. From the green bean stew that simmered on cool evenings to the casserole of spinach and rice that was a family favourite, each dish was a testament to how stews can be both nourishing and economical. Today, I’m excited to share with you my own creation: the Lamb Broad bean Stew. This recipe holds a special place in my heart, reminding me of those days when our home was filled with laughter and the clatter of dishes, as we gathered around the dining table.

Stews have always been the backbone of our family meals. They are the easiest and cheapest way to feed a large family, and with my Lamb Broad bean Stew, I aim to bring that same sense of familial warmth and simplicity to your table. This stew, much like my other recipes like the easiest white bean stew, strikes the perfect balance between heartiness and flavour.

What I love most about stews, and particularly this Lamb Broad bean Stew, is their uncomplicated nature. They’re a reminder of the comfort and joy that simple, home-cooked meals can bring. The aroma of the stew bubbling away on the stove is a nostalgic call back to those days of my childhood, where a big pot of stew meant a meal of love and sharing.

This Lamb Broad bean Stew is versatile too. It pairs wonderfully with traditional vermicelli rice or a hearty bulgur cracked wheat pilaf. And if you’re anything like my family, you might find joy in dunking a simple baguette into the rich, flavourful broth. These stews, with their rich flavours and tender meats, are a celebration of the simple joys of cooking and eating together. They are a reminder of the warmth and love that can be found in the most humble of dishes.
