Lebanese white-bean and beef stew in a garlic, coriander and tomato broth.
About Fasolia bi Lahme
Fasolia bi Lahme is a Lebanese stew of white beans and meat, commonly served with rice. This profile follows a beef-and-cannellini version whose tomato broth is built with garlic, fresh cilantro and dried coriander.
Cannellini beans make the stew creamy and substantial, while beef brings savoury depth to the light tomato broth. Garlic and coriander give it the bright aromatic character associated with Lebanese yekhne stews.
The finished stew is loose and spoonable, with tender beef cubes and pale beans throughout a red-orange broth. Vermicelli rice is an optional separate accompaniment rather than part of the stew itself.
