Lebanese Green Bean Meat Stew Recipe


Lebanese Green Bean  Meat Stew Recipe
This Lebanese stew is very healthy and has wonderful Mediterranean flavors. I believe it also is sometimes called Fasulia. It is a nice dish for the cooler weather months. Don't be surprised if it becomes one of your comfort foods!

Ingredients
  • 1 lb beef or lamb stew meat, chopped to smaller bite-size pieces
  • 1 lb frozen green beans
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 – 14 oz cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 - 4 oz can tomato paste
  • 2 cubes beef bouillon or 1 teaspoon beef base paste
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • 4 cups water (you can add more to your liking)

Directions
  1. Saute meat in olive oil until lightly brown. Add onion and garlic to meat and continue to saute over medium heat until onion is translucent.
  2. Add crushed tomatoes to meat mixture and stir until combined. Add spices, then add tomate paste and water. Add green beans and bring to a boil. You can add more green beans to make this heavier on the veggies.
  3. Once it comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer on low heat for about 2 hours, or until meat is tender and tomatoes have broken down into sauce. Serve over rice. Makes 4-6 servings. Sahhtain (double your health)
  4. Variation - you can add some cubed potatoes which you start simmering the meat and tomatoes together. You also can replace green beans with peas. This recipe can easily be converted to vegetarian dish.

It is very similar to our Green bredie (stew) in South Africa. Thank you


Hi Jaelee, this sounds very good. Very close to the Lamb & Green been dish my grandmother use to make.. Thanks for posting ...... Jim


This is simmering on my stove right now - if it tastes anywhere near as good as it smells, it'll be divine! Thanks!

As a Variation, try substituting Cinnamon for the Alspice and Chick Peas for the Green Beans.
