A simple tasty dish that we prepare in Lebanon especially in summer, when green beans are in season. It can be enjoyed warm/lukewarm, or, even better the next day straight out the fridge with flat bread.

This is the first time I made it, so I cooked it over the phone with mum to make sure I get the same taste as hers 😊
Can be served as a side dish/mezze

3

Add olive oil in a pot and start by sautéing the onions and garlic until translucent. Then add the chopped beans, salt and black pepper, sautee a bit then cover the pot and turn heat down to medium/low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4

Add chopped tomatoes, stir, cover again and cook for around 20-30 minutes. Check if the beans are very soft this means it’s almost ready! Uncover and cook for another 5-10 minutes to reduce the sauce and thicken it a bit.
5

📝 all the juices in this dish come from the veggies. We don’t add water at all! Just try to get good juicy tomatoes if possible.
6

Serve with fresh veggies like peppers, spring onion, radish, olives and mint and eat with flat bread 🫓

Tips

Quick trick to peel tomatoes 🍅

I’d always avoid peeling tomatoes while cooking because I’d struggle with this step but never thought that it’s a real problem until I complained about it to my mum who luckily gave me the solution (which turned out to be sooooo easy!)
