Lamb Stew and Whole Wheat Buns

I hate to brag (lies), but tonight's "let's clear out the fridge" dinner turned out better than usual.

I took a few pounds of lamb stew meat ($2/lb at Whole Foods on sale!) and seared them on all sides. Then I added carrots, onions, and bell peppers and sauteed everything with a big dollop of tomato paste before adding half a bulb of crushed garlic and a generous amount of dried oregano. Then I added enough water to cover the meat, and simmered everything for hours and hours. Then I added half cooked garbanzo beans, simmered until cooked through, and added chopped parsley and moringa leaves. The dish isn't difficult to make, but it's time consuming and requires some tinkering to get the thickness just right. The resulting stew is best served with a squeeze of lemon, pine nuts, and some more parsley.

We also had fresh whole wheat dinner rolls. So cute!

And finally, our last tomato.
