Lebanese Green beans with cinnamon

Lebanese Green Beans Recipe (Lubia)

Emily A.
Lebanese stewed green beans in tomato sauce are warm and flavorful, and a very different way to making green beans, especially if you are looking for new ideas! Green beans are stewed in a delicious tomato and onion broth with warm spices.
