Today, another Lebanese dish. The recipe of green beans in tomato sauce was quite popular so, here’s another one very similar but with peas this time. It’s called “bazella wou riz” which means peas and rice. This recipe is with meat but you can also make a vegetarian version. It’s also a dish that can be easily frozen.
– In a saucepan, put the onion and garlic and cook with a little bit of oil until the onion is softened.
– Add the beef and sear (vegetarian version, jump this step).
– Add the peas, carrots, can of diced tomatoes, fresh tomato, salt, pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg.
– Add just enough water to cover all the ingredients and mix all the ingredients together.
– Bring to boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 40 minutes.
– In a different saucepan, cook the rice.
-Serve on a plate with rice topped with the peas.
– Put few whole garlic cloves whilst cooking.
What are you cooking this week-end?
Happy Friday and enjoy your week-end!
Mmmm. This looks great! I don’t think the hubby would appreciate it as much as I though as he’s not the biggest fan of tomatoes.
This recipe is very tasty and easy to do: peas, carrots, tomatoes. I suggest to everyone to make time to try it .Bon appetit!
Indeed so easy to make and delicious!
I’d love it if you let me know how you go if you try the recipes.

Oh, YUM! This looks so delish, Rita! I’ve been trying to do a few more vegetarian dishes and this one is ideal. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Grace for hosting #FYBF!
Oh yum my kids love it when I cook this. Funnily enough I have this recipe on my blog. The difference is I use the tomato paste and I don’t put cinnamon or nutmeg. Might try it with it next time.
It’s so delicious, isn’t it? I just had a look at the recipes on your blog. They all look very yummy!
