How to make Lebanese vegan stew with fasolia (lima beans)

Traditional " Fassolia w ruz" aka lima bean stew with rice, is a common household favorite. This dish is just as delicious if you make it with beef. Here is a link to our recipe for the beef version. This is a hearty vegan or vegetarian meal.To make it vegan just add extra oil instead of butter. Some people also like adding fresh chopped cilantro to both the beef or vegetarian versions!

We call the large white beans Butter Beans in the US. We call them Lima Beans when theyre smaller and still green. Just trying to help anyone that wants to make this recipe. Love your channel, Maha ❤

Hello Chef: I was looking for a different recipe for “gigandes” (giant Lima beans) and found your channel. Your recipe required no oven baking like the Greek recipe, which is better for summer cooking. It was very easy and delicious. I am one of the people who will not eat cilantro because I get that soapy feeling in my mouth. Parsley is always my substitute and works just fine. I watched many of your videos. You are an excellent chef and keep up the great work. Thank you!

Again I have to ask what are the seven spices?
Yesterday I made your Moussaka recipe. It was the biggest hit at the block party. I couldn’t believe how delicious it was topped with T’ziki. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us.

Hi Ms. Maha,
Do you take off the shell from the beens?

[@ItNeverBeganBuddyBoyo]

No

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

Hello! No, I do not. They get very soft as the beans cook all the way. 😊
