ALebanese tomato stew<\/strong> is absolutely delicious comfort food! Nice and rustic, but still wonderfully fresh and fruity. And served with aromatic butter rice, it becomes a real feast of flavors. The recipe is really very simple<\/strong> and quick to<\/strong> prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Lebanese tomato stew?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, the tomato stew is a stew with fruity tomatoes. To this is added fried minced meat (veggie also works), a little cinnamon and pomegranate syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stew is called “Yakhnit Banadura<\/strong>” in Arabic and is usually served with delicious butter rice<\/a>. “Banadura<\/strong>” means tomato<\/strong> in Arabic, “Yakhnit<\/strong>” means “stew<\/strong>“. In terms of taste, the tomato stew is somewhat reminiscent of a delicious Bolognese sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use only the best tomatoes!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lebanese tomato stew does not require many ingredients. But you should pay attention to really very good ingredients. I therefore do not go for the cheapest tomatoes on the shelf, but pay attention to a good quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High quality canned peeled tomatoes<\/strong> are best, but of course you can also resort to fresh tomatoes from your garden. As a rule, peeled and canned tomatoes have a more intense flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pomegranate syrup<\/strong> provides the extra portion of fruitiness. Depending on the variety, the syrup also adds a tart sweetness and fuels the flavor of the Lebanese tomato stew. If you don’t have or can’t find pomegranate syrup, you can substitute it with balsamic vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the same, but comes closest. The pomegranate syrup you can also easily make yourself. Click here for the recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lebanese tomato stew: prepared quickly and easily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The preparation of the tomato stew is really super simple! Just saut\u00e9 the onion and garlic in olive oil, add the minced meat and deglaze with the tomatoes and pomegranate syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season with salt, pepper and cinnamon and simmer briefly. That was it actually already. Shortly before the end, chopped fresh coriander is added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the tomato stew is simmering, you can prepare the butter rice. After that, you can serve it directly. Garnish the stew best with a few freshly roasted pine nuts<\/strong> in the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish you lots of fun trying and of course a good appetite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
