October 4, 2017

Lebanese Green Beans in Tomato Sauce is a classic Lebanese vegetable side dish. This easy recipe is full of flavor with green beans, onions, and seasonings simmered in a delicious tomato sauce!

Lebanese Green Beans in Tomato Sauce

Lebanese Green Beans in Tomato Sauce is my all time favorite vegetable recipe. It is an easy middle eastern side dish recipe that is a go to in any Lebanese or Syrian home! Serve these green beans in tomato sauce with chicken, fish, or steak and you have a delicious, well rounded dinner! Seriously, these green beans are so good that they may just steal the show from the main course in your meal, which is not an easy task for the humble green bean!

It makes me so happy to see that Lebanese and Middle-Eastern restaurants are becoming so popular and that people are eating there on a regular basis! While Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean cooking is the basis of my cooking style,  I am embarrassed to admit that this is the first Lebanese recipe I am sharing on the blog!

Let me tell you why you need to try these Lebanese green beans in tomato sauce.  Most importantly, these beans are so good. They are so flavorful and pair perfectly with nearly any dinner. They are also easy and healthy. I love that this recipe travels well and you can throw them in a slow cooker to stay warm and take to a dinner. My Mom frequently makes these for potlucks to help even out all the desserts and carbs people bring!

Traditionally, you serve Lebanese Green Beans and rice together, and I really need to put together a recipe for how to make Lebanese rice pilaf! You can also serve these green beans with lamb in the tomato sauce!

These green beans are the perfect starting point if you are trying to segway into cooking more ethnic foods! So delicious and so easy, I hope you love this family favorite recipe as much as we do!
