Ingredients

• 500 grams green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium tomatoes, diced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 60 milliliters water or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the green beans. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cumin, coriander, paprika, red chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper over the tomato-onion mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Add the green beans to the pan and toss to coat them in the spiced tomato mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Cover the pan with a lid and let the mixture simmer over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, until the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Remove the lid and let any excess liquid cook off for 1-2 minutes, if needed.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if desired.

Step 11

Transfer the spiced green beans with tomato onions to a serving dish, garnish with fresh cilantro (if using), and serve warm as a side dish or on its own.
