Fasoliyyeh Bi Z-Zayt (Syrian Green Beans with Olive Oil)
Tender green beans gently braised in olive oil and garlic, the Syrian vegan staple served warm or at room temperature.
Ingredients
- Olive oil 0.25 cup
- Salt
- Fresh coriander 0.25 cup
- Garlic 1 clove
- Green beans 16 oz
Method
- Place the green beans into a large pot, and drizzle with olive oil.
- Season with salt to taste, and put the lid on the pot.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Syrians like it cooked until the green beans are turning brownish in color.
- The idea is not to saute them, but to let them steam in the moisture released by the ice crystals.
- Add cilantro and garlic to the beans, and continue to cook just until the cilantro has started to wilt.
- Eat as a main course by scooping up with warm pita bread or serve as a side dish.
