Loubieh bi Zait (green beans with olive oil

Ingredients (6 servings)

• 1 large bag of frozen whole green beans (by all means if you have fresh green beans use it)

• 2  onions chopped
• 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
• 2tsp Lebanese 7-spices (equal parts of powder ginger, fenugreek powder, clove, cinnamon, black pepper, and all spice)



• 1tsp salt or to taste

Preparation

1. Defrost green beans or if they are fresh wash and remove stems.
2. chop onions then saute them in olive oil and salt in a pan deep enough to hold all the green beans.  Saute in medium heat till the onions are soft and almost threatening to brown. Prox 10 min.
3.  add the green beans, a little more salt and 1tsp 7-spices, mix well. Let green bean simmer for 25 min stirring occasionally.
4. When  the green beans are done it will be fairly dark. Turn off the heat and sprinkle the rest of the 7 spice and mix  before serving.
5. Serve hot or cold but I prefer just room temperature.

 servings (yield): 6
