Dried White Beans

Dried White Beans: The Classic Pot of the Turkish Table

Dried white beans, with their white, oval grains, are one of the most beloved legumes of Turkish cuisine. When patiently cooked over low heat, the inside becomes creamy and soft while the skin stays intact. Since their taste is mild and neutral, they easily take on the flavor of companions such as tomato paste, meat, spicy sausage or olive oil.

Tufan Organik offers dried white beans for those who want to prepare at home that classic stew served with rice pilaf. Soaking the beans in water overnight before cooking shortens the cooking time and gives a more even texture. Cooking them in a pressure cooker or slowly over low heat both give satisfying results.

Serving Suggestions

• Cook beans with onion, tomato paste and butter, with or without meat, and serve with rice pilaf.
• Prepare boiled beans as a salad with red onion, parsley, vinegar and olive oil.
• Make an oven-baked bean casserole with cured beef or spicy sausage.
