I made this as directed except I scaled the onions down to 2/3 because I'm not really big on onions, I used about 1/2 beef because it's much cheaper around here and DH isn't wild about lamb anyway, and I was a little short on beans because 1 of my cans somehow didn't make it into my bag at the store. All in all, I'd have to say it was great. The meat could have been a little more tender and was a bit bland on it's own (maybe slow cooking it in the crockpot would fix that), but the broth was just delicious, and it was even better the next day after the flavors had had more of a chance to blend. The beans went really nicely; I wish I'd had the other can to put in, and next time I think I would add more of the onion as they really didn't taste as strong as I expected after being sautéed with the parsley. The only other thing is that this actually comes out as more of a soup than a stew with all of that broth, but that's really a good thing 'cause the broth is the best part. Thanks.
