Fasolia Bi Zeit
Fasolia bi Zeit is a traditional green bean Middle Eastern dish. It's so easy to make and requires very simple ingredients. This dish often made in Palestine, Jordan, and Syria.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 pounds (900g) green beans trimmed and preferably cut lengthwise
- 2 tomatoes peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons water or vegetable stock
- salt & pepper to taste
- lemon juice for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a wok (or a pressure cooker), heat olive oil and cook the onion until it's soft and translucent.
- Add the green beans, and shallow fry for a couple of minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, garlic and season with salt and pepper. Add the water or stock.
- If making this on a stovetop, cover with a lid and simmer on low-medium heat stirring occasionally for 25 minutes or until the green beans are soft.
- If you're using a pressure cooker, then cover with the lid and cook on "high pressure" for 5 minutes. Quickly release the steam once the cooking is finished and serve.
Notes
*You can drizzle the green beans with lemon juice before serving, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
