Fasoliyyeh Bi Z-Zayt (Syrian Green Beans with Olive Oil)

VeganSyrian

Ingredients

Steps

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.
