  Trim meat and cut into 3 cm (1-1/4 inch) cubes.  Heat half the oil or
  butter in a heavy pan and brown meat quickly on each side, adding a
  single layer of meat to pan at a time.  Remove to a plate when
  browned.

  Reduce heat, add remaining oil and onion and fry onion gently until
  transparent.  Add garlic, celery and carrot and fry for a few minutes
  longer.  Add tomato paste, wine, water, cloves, bay leaf and most of
  parsley.  Return meat to pan and add salt and pepper to taste and the
  sugar.  Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes for lamb, 1-1/4 hours
  for beef.

  Wash broad beans well, top and tail, pulling off strings at the same
  time. Cut into 8 cm (3-inch) lengths.  Add to yahni, cover pan and
  simmer for further 30-45 minutes or until meat is tender.
