300g lamb
400g celery
1 cup red beans or chickpeas
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
3 tablespoons sour grape juice
Oil as needed
Salt, pepper, turmeric to taste
Step 1:
Rinse and soak the red beans or chickpeas overnight. Change the water once or twice during this time to reduce the bloating and make them cook faster.
Step 2:
For a thick and flavorful stew, peel and grate the onion. Add some oil to a pot and sauté the onion until golden. Then add the lamb, cut into stew-sized pieces, and sauté until it changes color.
Step 3:
Add black pepper and turmeric, and sauté for another 30 seconds. Then add crushed garlic and tomato paste, sautéing for a bit longer. Drain the beans and add them to the pot. Add 3 cups of warm or boiling water, and once it boils, reduce the heat to a simmer until the meat and beans are cooked.
Step 4:
One hour after cooking the meat and beans, sauté the celery (cut into 2 cm pieces) with some oil. Chop the celery leaves and add them as well. After sautéing for 3-4 minutes, add it to the stew.
Step 5:
After cooking the meat and celery for an hour, add sour grape juice and adjust the salt. Once the stew has thickened, serve it in a dish with saffron rice. Enjoy!
Using lamb makes the stew tastier and more gelatinous.
Grating the onion contributes to a thicker stew.
Chopping the celery leaves and adding them helps make the stew gelatinous.
Cooking the stew for a long time (without overcooking the meat and celery) enhances its flavor.
You can make celery stew without beans, but adding beans makes it more gelatinous.
