  • 1 400g can chickpeas, drained & rinsed

Loubieh

Ingredients

  • a few onions, diced
  • butter, oil or lard
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1-1.2kg green beans, topped & tailed, then sliced lengthwise and halved
  • 800g diced tinned tomatoes
  • a few tbsp tomato paste
  • 1-2 cups water (probably)
  • pepper (optional)
  • a couple tsp powdered chicken or beef stock (optional)

Directions

  1. Fry onions in butter/oil/lard for a couple of minutes (strictly speaking you can do this without butter/oil/lard, but it's much more annoying and liable to burn).
  2. Add cinnamon and salt, stir briefly.
  3. Stir in beans, put lid on pot, let cook/sweat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, pepper and stock if using them, and water if it looks like it needs it.
  5. Simmer 30-45 minutes.
