The main ingredients in this one-pot Lebanese green bean stew are chicken, tomatoes, and flavorful spices. Definitely a filling supper! Serve either alone or with rice.

 63 g Minced meat (beef, lean)
 113 g Green beans (frozen, cut)
 100 g Chopped tomatoes (canned)
 50 g Strained tomatoes
 ¼ Onions
 ¼ tsp Salt
 Black pepper (to taste)
 ⅛ tsp Arabic mixed spice (or All Spice)
 ⅓ tbsp Sunflower oil
 ⅓ cup Water
1

Fry the chopped onions in the sunflower oil on high heat until translucent. Keep stirring so they don’t burn.

2

Add the minced meat, black pepper, and Arabic mixed spice, and some salt. Fry until the meat changes color (becomes brownish). Keep moving the meat around and separate it into small pieces to avoid clumps. You will notice the meat releases water, don’t let it all evaporate.

3

Add the green beans and mix for a minute.

4

Add the chopped and the strained tomatoes with the remaining salt and all the water. Mix the ingredients together and let it come to a boil. Lower to medium heat, cover and cook for around 1 hour.
