Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Season the lamb. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and brown the lamb for 10 minutes. Set aside.

In the same pan, fry the onion, celery and bacon until the onion is soft. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, then add the tomatoes, stock, rosemary, garlic, bay leaf and beans and season to taste.

Place the lamb in an ovenproof dish and pour over the sauce. Cover with a lid or foil and roast for 1 hour.

Remove the lamb from the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve slices of lamb on spoonfuls of beans.
