Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and trimming the green beans. Cut them into halves or thirds if they are particularly long. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent.

Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes along with their juice, vegetable broth, and the bay leaf to the pot. Stir well.

Step 6

Mix in the ground cumin and smoked paprika. Season the stew with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Add the prepared green beans to the pot and continue simmering for another 10-15 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf from the stew. Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
