The thing I like about Lebanon is that wherever you go to buy food, you get out of the place having learned something valuable to your cooking skills’ evolution. In Mar Mikhael, the street where we live, I sometimes feel like time has stopped. Leaving new constructions and hip bars and restaurants aside, small merchants still exist, people living in the neighborhood for ages still stop by to buy their groceries, everyone knows everyone and life is not so complicated.
So when our guest chef Jean came back last week from the grocer’s with a new kind of bean (white beans to be more exact) AND a new recipe, I was thrilled to try something new. This dish has Armenian origins and can serve as a nice homey meal when you have no idea what to cook.
What you’ll need:
– 2 cups of White Beans
– 1 big White Onion, diced
– 6 cloves of garlic, crushed
