Fasolia Bayda
Also known as: فاصوليا بيضاء
Palestinian family white-bean stew with beef, tomato and olive oil.

About Fasolia Bayda
Sawsan Abu Farha shares her mother’s white-bean stew as a favourite family recipe. This Palestinian version selects beef from her offered meats, cooked with dried white beans, onion and tomato.
Olive oil and onion provide the aromatic base. Blended tomato forms the sauce, with salt as the only separately named seasoning in this particular recipe.
The beans soften alongside the meat in a tomato-rich stew. This profile follows the pressure-cooker version supplied by the author; the regular-pot option remains a separate equipment choice, with no final serving temperature prescribed.
