6 servings

One of the all-time classic vegetarian lunch dishes on board. Lovely and light for a sunny day.

1 kg green beans
4 tablespoons of olive oil
2 medium sized onions, finely chopped
2 large tomatoes
I green pepper, chopped
2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons sugar

Remove the ends of the beans and the string and slice them in half lengthwise. Heat the olive oil. Lightly brown the chopped onions and the green pepper. Peel the tomatoes and chop them into small pieces and add them to the onion and pepper mixture. Add the beans, salt and sugar. Mix.

Add enough warm water to just cover the bean mixture. Cover and cook on medium heat for half an hour or until the beans are tender and the sauce is reduced.

This dish can be served at room temperature or warm. Usually it is served on oard with bulgur pilav and salad.

Just noticed this, one of my favourites, but I dont use the peppers and serve with grilled fish.

Replace the pepper with garlic cloves and remove the sugar , it becomes the famous lebanese "lubiye bi zeyt" dish. You can eat it hot or even cold with pita bread.

 

It is important though to use the broad beans (coco plat, haricot plat)

Bonne appetit
