My husband and I used to visit a Lebanese restaurant in DC and loved their dish called ‘Loubieh Bel Zeit.’ When we moved away we craved this dish, so I tried to re-create it and came up with the following recipe. My husband LOVES it and wants me to make it all of the time now.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 tablespoons chopped garlic, or to taste
- salt to taste
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (such as San Marzano®)
- 1 (12 ounce) bag thin green beans, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat; cook and stir onion, garlic, and salt in the hot oil until onion is softened and browned, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Mix tomatoes and green beans into onion mixture. Add sugar and cinnamon to mixture; bring to a boil, lower heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until green beans are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Time to prep may take longer if you buy beans that haven't been cleaned yet.
