took you far too seriously.

Categories: Lebanese, Beef, Lamb, Chilies, Stews, Beans
  Servings: 6

      2 c  red beans
      1 lb beef stew chunks 
      6 ts tomato paste
     10 cl garlic, minced
      1 sm onion, finely chopped
    1/2 c  olive oil
    1/2 ts salt 
      1 ts Lebanese 7-Spices
    1/3 ts black pepper
    1.5 ts ground cinnamon
      3    cinnamon sticks

      1 c  rice
    1/4 c  bird nest or angel hair

Lebanese-style hot Chili.  Fasolia (Phaseolus vulgaris) is the
typical name given to different varieties of red beans in Lebanon.
And apparently in other countries in the Middle East such as Egypt
and Turkey (Fasulye), Fasolia can refer to green beans as well.

In its basic form, the dish "Fasolia w Riz" which stands for Fasolia
and rice is a simple yet succulent chili stew made with red beans,
beef stew chunks, tomato paste and subtle Middle Eastern spices. It
is served as a soup with a side of rice with vermicelli. Fasolia can
also be made with goat meat, or with chunks of meat with the bones
left on.

Can also be made as vegetarian Fasolia Bean Stew.

Preparing Rice With Vermicelli: Lebanese rice that is served with
many stews and traditional dishes tends to be just plain rice cooked
with some vermicelli. Break some angel hair (or birds nest)
vermicelli into small pieces and fry them with some butter until
they turn red. Then add to your rice cooking pot, mix well and let
simmer.

Soak the beans for 6 hours or overnight.

When ready, rinse them then add to a cooking pot with 6 cups of
water, boil for 5 minutes then drain the beans and discard their
water.

Add the beans back to the pot with 6 cups of fresh water and bring
to a boil again, then lower heat to minimum and let simmer for 40-80
minutes depending on what type of beans you have. Well cooked beans
get smashed easily between your finger tips.

Add 1 finely chopped onion to a deep pot and lightly fry with 3-4
table spoons of oil (olive oil) on medium heat while stirring.

When onions start turning a bit pinkish (10 minutes in), add the
minced garlic and cilantro leaves, and saute for a couple of
minutes.

Cut meat into small cubes (1 inch) and add to pot on top of onions
and garlic

Then add  salt, 7-spices, black pepper, ground cinnamon to meat pot,
stir well for a few minutes until the beef turns light brown

Add 3 cups of warm water to the meat pot, stir well and bring to a
boil

Pour the cooked beans with their water on top of the meat pot

Add the tomato paste, stirr well, and let simmer on low heat for
another 20-30 minutes while stirring occasionally

While the chili simmers, chop the vermicelli into 1 inch pieces then
lightly fry with a tiny bit of butter, or oil, then add them to your
rice maker or rice pot along with 1 cups of rice and 2 cups of
water, a bit of salt, and let cook on low heat for 20 minutes or
until rice is done.

Serve chili hot in a bowl on top of a few spoons of rice.
