Here's another fabulous recipe I tried from Najmieh Batmanglij's
wonderful cookbook. I have become obsessed with this book! If you haven't already read my post on her chicken and apple stew I highly recommend you give it a try this weekend. You won't be sorry!This chicken and green bean stew was a huge hit and was easy enough to prepare for a weeknight meal. The flavors of the tomatoes and lime perfectly compliment the green beans and made for an ideal hearty meal.
I've been trying to incorporate green beans into my cooking these days due to the plethora of health benefits they have to offer:
Green beans are very rich in vitamins A and C both of which are important in fighting free radicals in the human body. The beta carotene in green beans are also thought to be an important element in the fight against cancers such as colon cancer. It is said that the folate present in green beans helps prevents against mutations in colon cells and thus reduce the possibility of disease.You don't have to use chicken for this recipe. You can use any other type of stew meat as well such as lamb or veal.
