Fasooli (White Beans and Rice)

Middle Eastern Lamb Ragout
My friend shared this recipe with me last weekend after we ate it at her house. She made it with venison and it was delicious! The recipe calls for lamb, which I don’t have, so I am using grass-fed beef stew meat. The sauce is fantastic over brown rice.
I have assembled it in the crockpot [...]
