Beans and Tomato Stew

5 servings

40 minutes

Bean and tomato stew is a fragrant dish of Arab cuisine that combines simple yet rich flavors. Its roots lie in the traditions of regional gastronomy, where tomato base and legumes play a key role in everyday diet. Vegetables simmered in olive oil reveal their sweet taste, while beans add richness and softness. Parsley adds fresh notes, and harissa brings spicy heat, turning an ordinary stew into a savory delight. This dish pairs perfectly with flatbreads or rice, warms on cool evenings, and is great as a standalone dish or as part of a large Eastern feast.
