Ingredients

Servings
  • cup olive oil
  • 280 grams onion (1 large onion, diced)
  • 45 grams garlic (crushed)
  • 2 teaspoons baharat spice mix Lebanese seven spice mix
  • 320 grams romano beans (a.k.a. flat beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths)
  • 260 grams tomatoes 6 small tomatoes, chopped, ripe
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  1. Add the olive oil onions and garlic to a pan and fry over medium heat until the onions are tender and starting to brown.
  2. Add the Baharat and fry for a few seconds to release its aroma before adding the Romano beans. Saute until the beans are a vibrant green.
  3. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and salt and then cover the pan with a lid. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally (about 25 minutes).
  4. When the beans are tender, remove the lid and turn up the heat to medium-high, allow any excess liquid to evaporate so that the sauce is nice and thick.
  5. Garnish the Loubieh Bi Zeit with flat-leaf parsley. You can serve it warm or at room temperature with pita bread.

Notes

  • If you can't find Romano beans in your area, regular green beans will work as well.
