Authentic Emirati Slow-cooked Beans Casserole

Assemble the ingredients: beans, cinnamon, tomato, carrot, salt, cumin, paprika.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beans and cook until slow-cooked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Emirati flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Emirati accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
