FOSSOLIA (ETHIOPIAN-STYLE STRING BEANS)

INGREDIENTS

1lb fresh string beans

1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes  

1 medium to large yellow onion, sliced

2 tablespoons fresh garlic finely minced 

3 tablespoons fresh ginger finely minced

1/3 cup Niter Kibbeh (substitute with oil to make it vegan)

1 teaspoon Afrenje

1/4 teaspoon Cumin

1 fresh rosemary sprig


PREPARATION

Wash and cut the ends of the green beans then cut in half. Soak in hot water and strain. Roast tomatoes on a skillet, peel skin and puree. Roast the string beans with 2 tablespoons of Niter Kibbeh on high heat until it is lightly browned, supple and limp, about 10 minutes. Mince garlic and ginger.

(Dry roasting the beans separately is recommended, although directly putting the strained beans in to the sauce mix is an option)

  2. Add the tomato puree and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally
  3. Add the remainder of the oil as well as the rosemary and cook until rosemary is fragrant, about 2 minutes
  4. Mix in the green beans and allow to cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently
  5. Add Afrenje and Cumin and cook for 3 more minutes 
  6. Finally, salt to taste
