EASY IRAQI GREEN BEANS WITH MEAT
This recipe, slightly adapted, is from "Iraqi Family Cookbook from Mosul to America." You can also make this vegetarian without the meat, just fry the onions first in olive oil and then add the green beans, tomato sauce, salt and spices along with one cup water, then simmer for 20 minutes. The Arabic spice mixture (baharat/bahara) recipe follows at the end of the recipe.
