Directions

1. Trim and wash the green beans and french-cut them (cutting them lengthwise then cut into two-inch pieces).
2. Peel the garlic and mince or coarsely mash adding a dash of salt.
3. Heat the olive oil then add the garlic and stir for a minute until they start to turn yellow.
4. Add the green beans and water and cook for 35-45 minutes on medium heat until they are done.
5. Stir occasionally checking the liquid level. Add some water if necessary. Add the spices and salt half way through.
6. Can be eaten warm or cold. Scoop it with a piece of flat bread for a healthy main dish with Syrian salad or have it as a side dish.

  This recipe was so simple, and I love the fact that I had most of the ingredients on hand! Even though it may seem like the recipe calls for a lot of garlic, the flavor melts into a mellow goodness that's takes a backseat compliment to the beans.
