Lamb with Black-Eyed Beans

In Arcadia they call the black-eyed beans "haronia" because they have the black-like-death (haros) spot. The word is well-sounding and poetic and these beans are wonderful. Make this dish with black-eyed beans once and with lentils, chickpeas or broad beans another time. Each one has its own delicious flavor.
