FASOLIA - GREEN BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Trim beans and cut in half lengthways. In the shallow pan, fry in half the oil for 15 mins. Once soft, turn the heat off. Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the onion. With the remaining oil, fry in the deep pan for 10 mins.
• Finely chop the garlic and chilli, adding to the deep pan and cook for a further 5 mins. Cut the mushrooms in half. Once the onions are soft, add the mushrooms and cook for 5 mins covering the pan with a lid.
• Chop the tomatoes in half, push the onions to one side of the pan and fry the tomatoes on the other side. You may need to add more oil. Turn the tomatoes over regularly to fry all over. Once the tomatoes are soft put in the tomato puree to fry for a few minutes until it becomes dark red.
• Add the beans, sprinkle in the spices and mix the ingredients together. Fry all together for a couple of mins before adding boiling water. Simmer with the lid on for 20 mins. (Top up with water if necessary.) For a twist, serve with lemon wedges.

FASOLIA RECIPE (GREEN BEAN STEW)

Steps:

• Slice rinsed meat into portions and add to a 5-quart Dutch oven. Add 5 cups of water, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• While the meat is cooking, trim the ends from green beans, cut them in half, and slice them down the middle. Set aside.
• Drain contents of the Dutch oven through a strainer (over a bowl) to collect the broth. Rinse the meat and the pot.
• Return the meat back to the pot, along with oil, onion, and paprika. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes until the meat is browned and the onion is sautéed.
• Add the green beans, chopped tomato, and garlic to the Dutch oven. Dissolve tomato paste into the reserved hot liquid, and stir in salt, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper.
• Pour the broth mixture over the beans and stir gently. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer, over low heat, for an additional 30 to 40 minutes.
• Serve over white or vermicelli rice. Another serving option is to serve the stew with bread for dunking or eat as-is for a lower carb option.
