French Beans Tadjine

Who doesn’t enjoy delicious Tadjines?

Growing up I  use to pick french green beens from my parents garden and help my mom cook them. Because it’s the most affordable seasonal vegetable in Algeria (my country of origin), my mom use to get creative in her kitchen. We use to eat it for the whole week without realizing that we have been eating the same vegetable with different culinary versions. My favorites are the tadjine and the salad that I will share in another post.
