1. Cook the lamb in 2 cups of water over moderate heat for 5 minutes,
stirring several times. Drain well to remove excess fat.
2. Add the 2 remaining cups of water to the pan, cover, and cook over low
heat for 1 hour. This should tenderize the lamb.
3. Trim the fava bean pods on both ends. Cut the pods into 3 equal pieces.
Add them to the lamb with the salt, sugar, and scallions. Cover the pan and
simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, or until the favas are tender. Adjust
the salt. The preparation of this Passover dish exemplifies the Turkish
preference for the natural taste of ingredients. Only the simplest of
seasoning are used here to allow the flavor of the favas to dominate.

A Message from our Provider:

“Man is surrounded by the wonders of God.”

Here are some good reasons for what man thinks is bad: 1. Pain and death help man comprehend the power and awfulness of sin. The entrance of sin brought destruction and decay into the world. It is a good thing to be wary of the effects of evil… By seeing how bad results come from sin, we might learn to avoid it to whatever degree possible. 2. Pain and death are sometimes used by God to judge sin. The Bible is full of stories of God’s use of physical pain and death to accomplish judgment. 3. Pain and death help us know the importance of Christ’s death... Christ took sin on Himself at the cross in order to deliver people from the consequences of their sin. We should be thankful that God has made a way to escape the consequences of sin through Christ. The more I know about evil, the more I should want to be freed from its power, and the more I should be appreciative of the only way of ultimate escape through Christ's death. 4. Pain sometimes brings people to Christ. When a person realizes that he is weak and needs Christ, he is most willing and ready to come to Him. Sometimes God is good in removing our self-sufficiency through suffering. 5. Pain and conflict with evil does the authentic Christian good. The Bible actually says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:28; see 2 Cor. 12:7-10). After Joseph had endured a lot of evil from his own brothers, he told them, “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good” (Gen. 50:20). 6. Finally, bad things happen because God wants to teach Christians something about His special favor toward them (see Rom. 9:22-23).
