How to Make Easy Middle Eastern Green Beans
This dish is inspired by a Lebanese dish called loubieh. It’s simply green beans and grape tomatoes cooked with a just-right amount of extra-virgin olive oil and seasoned with cinnamon and sea salt. It comes together quickly and can easily be made while the rest of your meal cooks. Pair it with a simple protein dish, like this Balsamic Glazed Salmon, for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.
