Low-broth green bean stew is a home-style dish of green beans, tomato, and onion cooked with a little olive oil and just a small amount of liquid. The vegetables soften in their own juices, so it is less soupy than a typical stew.
Cook chopped onion gently in olive oil, add trimmed green beans and tomato, then cover and simmer until the beans are tender. Add broth or water sparingly as it cooks; the beans and tomato release liquid of their own.
Low-broth green bean stew is closely related to Turkish zeytinyağlı taze fasulye, a Turkish olive-oil green bean dish. Recipes vary, but both commonly use green beans, tomato, onion, and olive oil; the low-broth version is defined by using little added liquid.
Yes, frozen green beans work in low-broth green bean stew. Add them without thawing and use less added liquid at first, since frozen beans release moisture as they cook. The finished beans may be softer than fresh ones.
To keep low-broth green bean stew from getting mushy, choose firm beans and check their texture as they cook. Simmer gently with the lid on, and stop cooking once the beans are tender rather than leaving them on the heat.
The beans in low-broth green bean stew may be tough because they are mature, fibrous, or simply need more cooking. Keep simmering with the lid on and add a small splash of hot water if the pot is getting dry.
Low-broth green bean stew goes well with rice, bread, or bulgur. For a Turkish-style meal, serve it with pilaf and yogurt; for a plant-based meal, pair it with bread or a fresh salad instead.
Yes, low-broth green bean stew can be eaten cold or at room temperature. That is especially common for Turkish olive-oil-style green bean dishes; chilling it also gives the tomato and onion flavors time to settle.
Store leftover low-broth green bean stew in a covered container in the refrigerator after it has cooled. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, or serve it cold; repeated reheating can make the beans overly soft.
Yes, low-broth green bean stew can be frozen in airtight, meal-sized containers once cooled. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating; the beans may have a softer texture after freezing and thawing.

Low-Broth Green Bean Stew is a Turkish home-style dish of fresh green beans cooked with tomato and onion, a little olive oil and just enough liquid to keep them tender. The beans soften as they simmer, while the finished dish stays thick rather than soupy.
It can be served warm or at room temperature, as a vegetable main with bread or rice, or as a side alongside other dishes. Its gentle tomato flavour also pairs well with plain yogurt. The beans contribute fibre, with 3 g per 100 g of stew. For a lighter version, keep the oil modest and stop cooking once the beans are tender but still hold their shape.
