Loubieh Bil Zeit (Lebanese Green Beans in Olive Oil)
When I make this Loubieh Bil Zeit, I am transported straight to the heart of a Lebanese souk, where the stalls overflow with sun-kissed vegetables. It is a simple yet deeply flavorful vegetarian dish that embodies the essence of Lebanese cuisine: fresh ingredients and generous olive oil. You might wonder what sets this preparation apart from other green bean dishes? It's the balance between the acidity of the tomatoes, the sweetness of the onion, and the aromatic touch of allspice. Some think Lebanese hummus is the best in the world, but I challenge you not to fall in love with this stew. Serve it as a mezze, and you'll understand why it's so cherished.
