  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2           cup  extra-virgin olive oil
  1             medium  onion -- coarsely chopped
  2        tablespoons  Tabil
  1         tablespoon  hot paprika
  2               cups  packed chopped flat-leaf parsley -- (1/2 pound)
  2               cups  packed thinly sliced spinach leaves -- (4 ounces)
  1 1/2         pounds  green beans
                        Salt
  2               cups  water
 
 
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.
 
Makes 6 servings
 
Make Ahead: The beans can be refrigerated overnight.
AuthorNote: This is a delicious simplification of Ftima Mahjoub's stew of
fresh favas and artichokes. Slow cooking the parsley, spinach and green
beans creates a meltingly tender texture.
