In Syria, we cook green beans in two ways:
1. Fasouliyeh Bez-Zeit: green beans cooked with olive oil, crushed garlic and ground coriander seeds, (Some people make Fasoulia Bez-Zeit in different way, they add to it tomato chunks and onion).
2. Fasouliyeh Bel-Bandourah: green beans cooked with meat, onion and tomato sauce.
Fasouliyeh is the Arabic word for green beans, Zeit is the Arabic word for oil.
