The exotic pairing of saffron, ginger, and mint creates a bold flavour in this delicious lamb stew. This hearty lamb stew is based on Moroccan harira soup, but I substituted lentils for green beans. If you wish to serve this dish as soup add extra water and adjust the seasoning. To serve as a stew, add a side of mashed yam potatoes or simple rice. Enjoy!
