Easy Iraqi Green Beans With Meat image

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.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish with tofu instead of meat. It was still delicious! The green beans were cooked perfectly and the tofu was nice and crispy.

This dish was a little too oily for my taste. I drained some of the oil before serving and it was much better.
