Remove the strings from the green beans and cut the beans in half.
Slice the onion into salad strips and finely chop the garlic.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 6 minutes, add the garlic, and turn for 1 minute.
Add the tomato paste, grated tomatoes, cumin, salt, and black pepper, then cook the sauce for 6 minutes.
Add the fresh beans and hot water, then cover.
Cook fasolia bi zeit over low heat for 28 minutes, until the beans soften.
Remove from the heat, rest for 10 minutes, and serve once close to room temperature.
💡 Tip: Runner beans common in Turkey work well; if you remove the strings and leave them large, they will not fall apart during the long cooking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve fasolia bi zeit at room temperature, with lemon wedges and yogurt-free bulgur pilaf if desired for a light meal.
