Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over low heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until it just starts to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium. Add lamb and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the carrots and celery and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, then season with parsley, thyme, oregano, pepper, and salt. Add the beans and broth. Bring to a boil, cook for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the beans are tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes.

Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the spinach in the hot pan until wilted. This will take only a short time, and you will not need to add more liquid to the pan.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
