Loubia Bzeit<\/h1>\n

Talk about green beans, garlic, tomatoes and olive oil braised together to bring out a fantastic aromatic flavor. \u201cLoubia Bzeit\u201d or \u201cLoubieh Bi Zeit\u201d, yes is as simple as that, yet the end result is astoundingly good and full of agreeable flavors.\u00a0 A home-style dish and a family favorite not only in our home, but in the kitchens all over Lebanon. You might even find it on the menu of some Lebanese restaurants<\/p>\n

Traditionally, loubia bzeit is made of romano beans that are flat-wide \u2013 we call them in Arabic \u201cloubia badrieh\u201d. They are more tender and have a creamier taste than the regular string beans. Unfortunately, romano beans are not easily found in Kinshasa, so I had to resort to using the regular string beans that still tasted so good.\u00a0 Try to put your hands on the freshest green beans that are almost seedless or the ones that have small seeds.\u00a0 Take my words, the big seeds negatively affect the flavor of the humble, yet amazing Loubia Bzeit.<\/p>\n

Loubia bzeit is one of my very favorite veggie dishes that I could happily\u00a0 eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner, though not usual to eat if for breakfast.\u00a0 The key to a successful \u201cLoubia Bzeit\u201d is to cook the green beans until melt in your mouth tender, the slow cooking technique yields a distinctive character to the dish.\u00a0 It is rich with olive oil, fragrant with garlic and stewed in tomatoes. Hearty and bursting with flavor \u2013 and brings back happy memories of meals around our dinner table. Once you try \u201cLoubia Bzeit,\u201d you will make often.<\/p>\n

Reader’s Praise<\/strong>: “I love foods from around the world and always like to try new dishes. These are now my favorite green beans! I cut down the onions just a bit to appease the onion haters, but they still tried it and liked it. I definitely agree it tastes best when the green beans are good and tender. Thank you for sharing this recipe that will have a permanent spot in my repertoire!” Debbie <\/em><\/p>\n
