Today, i would like to introduce Kuru Fasülye. Almost everywhere has their own varieties of stew, and the Turkish cuisine is blessed with some particularly fine ones - hearty,tasty and packed full of goodness.
Here is one take on the theme, a stew or perhaps a casserole , that you will find on the menu in many of the lokantas around Turkey - the traditional kitchens,that serve up cheap ,cheerful and ready made dishes.You can twist this stew to your own particular predilection,swapping meats,switching beans, but this is a great introduction , and can form the basis of a wide array of Turkish winter warmers.
Let's get started!
Serves :5-6
Cooking Time: 1h and 25 min.
Ingredients:
2 cups of dry beans
300g of mutton or beef with bones
3 tablespoons of oil
3 onions
2 cloves of garlic
2 long green peppers
2 tomatoes or half tablespoon of tomato paste
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
Directions
1. Clean beans and soak them overnight in water.
2. The following day, boil them until they are cooked halfway through,saving the bean stock.
3. Saute meat,2 chopped onions and garlic in a pot with oil. Add in grated tomatoes and stir. Add in 2 cups of water and let cook.
4. Add in sieved beans,2 cups of bean stock,sugar,1 chopped onion and green peppers.
5.Cover and bring to a boil.Then lower the heat and cook slowly.Add salt 5 minutes before removing from heat.
Note: If you use chickpeas, cook them the same way as the beans. If you use kidney beans, do not use the stock,since it is coloured.If you use lentils,do not boil,but add directly to the meat and vegetables.
You should serve it with pilaf,onion and pickles. Then you will enjoy one of the best Turkish food ever you tasted!
Bon appetit!!
