Allspice String Beans Recipes

LOUBYA BI ZAYT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. This process takes about 15 minutes, but adds a tremendous amount of flavor.
• Add in the garlic, red pepper flakes, Seven Spice, and salt. Stir, cooking, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in the green beans, tomatoes, and sugar. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and the tomato sauce is fragrant and has thickened, about 30 minutes.

ULTIMATE GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate; return the skillet with the reserved bacon grease to the stove.
• Cook the onion in the bacon drippings until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the green beans and red pepper flakes; cook another 2 minutes. Pour the boiling water into the skillet and cover the skillet immediately; steam for about 15 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally to keep the beans from sticking to the bottom. Add the butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until the butter is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cooked bacon over the beans to serve.
