Add 4 cloves of garlic with onions. Mix spices with the meat before browning, add some more salt just before simmer. Add 1 can of chick peas. Use frozen already trimmed green beans to save time.

I made this last night for the second time. I used ground beef instead of lamb and omitted the onions both times. Served it over white rice and it was big hit with my hubby and kids. Thanks for the easy recipe!
