LEBANESE GREEN BEAN STEW (LOUBIA B'ZEIT)
Steps:
- Peel and chop the onion into strips and the garlic finely, keeping them separate.
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a wide sauté pan and sauté the onions until caramalised on a low heat. This may take twenty minutes plus but is worth the effort.
- Follow by adding the chopped garlic to the onions. Saute for 1-2 minutes and take care not to burn the garlic.
- Wash and trim the ends of the green beans and sauté with the garlic and onion mix for ten minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, chilli and water.
- Bring to a boil and cover with a lid.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cooking for 30-40 mins until the beans are well done, taking care the sauce doesn't run dry.
- Serve with warm pitta bread.

An appetizer served at a Phoenician restaurant in Syracuse. The beans should be nice and soft when finished. Flat Italian type beans are good this way, too, but may require longer cooking.
