Boil the bone-in lamb with water and half of the salt for 50 minutes.
Remove the meat from the water, pull it from the bones, and strain the broth.
Fry the tomato paste, pepper paste, and ground red pepper in butter for 2 minutes.
Add the strained meat broth to the paste mixture and bring to a boil.
Return the meat pieces to the pot and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Chop the tomatoes, green peppers, and green beans, and soften them in a separate pan for 8 minutes.
Add the vegetables to the avsor, cook for 10 more minutes, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Boiling the meat first, then simmering it in the tomato-pepper broth keeps the liquid clear but strong.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot in bowls with tandir bread and raw onion.
