"A delicious Turkish dish that has turned many a bean-hater into a bean-lover in my house. Serve as part of a Turkish meze or with meat such as a nice steak, in place of potatoes."

  1. I really enjoyed this meal. I prepered it as described, but I replaced the celery stalk with diced celery root (about 150 g) I hat to use. I placed it the the oven (70°C) until all members of my family were at home and ready to start. Good dish to be prepared in advance.<br/>It was really delicious, tasty and suoer easy.
     
  2. White beans are my Turkish partners's favorite dish. He's always raving about his mom's white beans. Now, however, he's raving about mine! Thank you so much! (I also added the tbs of tomato paste and used beef stock instead of chicken.)
     
  3. Simple, very subtly flavoured, great even though I didn't have any parsley. Thanks!
     
  4. Really easy to make and very tasty. I added a tablespoon of tomato paste and it was even tastier. Tasted just like it did in Turkey.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
