SWEET-AND-SOUR BEEF STEW (LAHMEH FIL MEHLEH)



Sweet-and-Sour Beef Stew (Lahmeh Fil Mehleh) image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 - 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds moderately lean (85 percent) ground chuck
2 teaspoons allspice
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 medium onions, peeled and quartered
4 large waxy potatoes, peeled and cut into eighths
12 ounces pitted prunes
1 large eggplant, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch slices
2 6-ounce cans tomato paste
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon tamarind paste (see note above)
Syrian rice for serving (see recipe)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the chuck, allspice, cinnamon, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and use your hands to mix it well.
  • Pour the oil into the bottom of a heavy, 6-quart ovenproof casserole or Dutch oven and place half the onions in the bottom. Place half of the meat over the onions, pressing it down very firmly with your hands. Scatter half the potatoes, prunes and eggplant over the top of the meat. Add the remaining onions to the pot and press the remaining meat over the top of the onions. Scatter the remaining potatoes, prunes and eggplant over the meat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the tomato paste, 2 1/2 cups of water, sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, tamarind, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and mix until smooth. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables.
  • Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Adjust the heat so that the mixture cooks at a strong simmer. Cook until the sauce is thick and the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 2 hours. (The dish is often better if prepared a day in advance, refrigerated and reheated in a 350-degree oven before serving.) Season the stew to taste with salt and pepper and serve with Syrian rice.

NANCY LINDAHL'S HEARTY SWEET AND SOUR BEEF STEW



Nancy Lindahl's Hearty Sweet and Sour Beef Stew image

Here is a crock pot stew that I found published in the Minneapolis Tribune many years ago. After you brown the meat and put every thing together, it cooks by itself. I have never met Nancy, but I thank her every time the aroma of this meal in a pot fills my kitchen. It serves at least 4 hungry people and left over's can be refrigerated for several days. After cooking all day, it still retains it's sweet/sour characteristics without either a burned taste or the washed out blandness that often requires more seasoning when served.

VANKAYA PULUSU PACHADI (ANDHRA SWEET AND SOUR EGGPLANT STEW)



Vankaya Pulusu Pachadi (Andhra Sweet and Sour Eggplant Stew) image

This is a classic Andhra dish consisting of roasted eggplant (brinjal) in a sweet and sour stew. The sweetness is from jaggery and the sourness is from tamarind. This pulusu is an excellent accompaniment to patholi, or mudda pappu (plain hard-cooked dal). I also like it just by itself with plain rice and ghee.
