Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 400 grams diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 200 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut them into approximately 5 cm (2-inch) pieces.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until soft and golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the fresh green beans to the pot and stir to coat them with the onion and garlic mixture.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix everything well.
Pour in the water, ensuring the beans are mostly submerged.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or spices to your preference.
Remove the pot from the heat. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with rice, pita bread, or as a side dish to complement your meal.
