Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Finely chop the yellow onion and sauté in the oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pot, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Wash the green beans, trim the ends, and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Add them to the pot and stir well.
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small chunks and add them to the pot along with the tomato paste.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.
Add the ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The green beans should be tender and the tomatoes broken down into a thick sauce.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if needed.
Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice just before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
