Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Syrian Olive Oil Green Beans.
Step 1
To start your delicious green bean dish, grab a large pot and toss in the frozen cut green beans.
Step 2
Drizzle them generously with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle in some salt to taste.
Step 3
Now, cover the pot with a lid and set it over medium-high heat.
Step 4
As the beans cook, stir them occasionally, keeping an eye on their tenderness.
Step 5
For that authentic Syrian flair, let them cook until they take on a lovely brownish hue.
Step 6
This method allows the beans to steam in the moisture released from the ice crystals, creating a wonderfully tender texture without the need for sautéing.
Step 7
Once your green beans are cooked to perfection, it’s time to add a burst of flavor! Stir in the minced garlic and chopped cilantro, and let everything cook together for a few more minutes until the cilantro wilts just a bit.
Step 8
This dish is best enjoyed warm, so serve it up as a hearty main course, perfect for scooping with fresh pita bread, or as a delightful side that complements any meal.
Step 9
Enjoy the vibrant flavors and the comforting aroma that fills your kitchen as you savor this simple yet satisfying dish!.
