Fasoliyyeh Bi Z-Zayt Recipe - Authentic Syrian Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 large onion (finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Stir frequently to prevent garlic from burning.
  2. Add Green Beans

    Add the trimmed green beans to the pot and stir well to coat them with the oil and onion mixture.

    Make sure the beans are well distributed in the pot.
  3. Season and Simmer

    Pour in the water, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

    Check occasionally to stir and ensure even cooking.
  4. Adjust Seasoning

    After 30 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If using, add lemon juice for a bright flavor.

    Add more salt or pepper to your liking.
  5. Serve

    Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

    Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish.
