The Story Behind the Dish
Dishes cooked 'bi zeit' (with oil) are a big part of Lebanese home cooking. They have no meat and are cooked in good olive oil, so they can be eaten cold.
Christian families ate them often during Lent, when meat was not allowed, and in summer they are perfect because they taste best at room temperature.
⭐ Why It's Famous
It turns simple green beans into something rich and tasty, with almost no effort.
💡 Fun Fact
There is also a meat version, loubieh bi lahmeh, cooked with lamb and served hot over rice.
