Beef and Black Bean Stew This wonderfully aromatic dish flavored with baharat spices has been adapted from a traditional Lebanese recipe made with lamb and Navy beans. The cinnamon, clove and peppery baharat mix also gives a wonderful rich flavour to beef stews. This recipe combines beef and baharat spices with the South American black bean (turtle bean) to give a hearty, wholesome stew. N.B. Don't confuse the dried black beans in this recipe for the salty black beans familiar in Chinese cooking.
