Lubieh Ruz is one of my absolute favorite traditional Lebanese dishes! Lubieh is a stew made with green beans, tomato sauce, and ground beef. The mix of flavors from the different seasonings, including cinnamon, create the distinct taste of many middle eastern recipes. Served with rice on the side (see here for rice recipe)- Lubieh Ruz is the perfect delicious, one-pot, hearty meal that is easy to make and serves many!
