Loubieh bil Zeit
Also known as: لوبية بالزيت
Lebanese green beans slowly braised with tomatoes, onion, garlic and olive oil.
About Loubieh bil Zeit
Loubieh bil Zeit is a Lebanese dish of green beans braised in olive oil and tomato. This profile follows Lebanese cook Dina Kohl's Romano-bean version, naming that bean choice without claiming it is the only classic form.
Tomatoes and slowly softened onion give the beans sweet-savoury depth, while garlic and olive oil make the sauce rounded and fragrant. Cinnamon adds gentle warmth and black pepper a light aromatic bite.
The green beans become very tender and lose their bright colour as they absorb the thick red tomato sauce. The finished dish is soft and glossy, with intact bean pieces rather than a crisp or soupy texture.
