Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    2. 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
    3. 2 tablespoons Tabil
    4. 1 tablespoon hot paprika
    5. 2 cups packed chopped flat-leaf parsley (1/2 pound)
    6. 2 cups packed thinly sliced spinach leaves (4 ounces)
    7. 1 1/2 pounds green beans
    8. Salt
    9. 2 cups water

Directions

  1. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, tabil and paprika and cook over low heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the parsley, spinach, green beans and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring once or twice, until the green beans start to soften, about 15 minutes. Add 1 cup of water, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Add the remaining 1 cup of water, cover and simmer until the beans are very tender, about 20 minutes longer. Season with salt and serve

Make Ahead

The beans can be refrigerated overnight.
