Hi, Semra here…Aylins mom. This colorful and very tasty dish is a staple of almost every household in Turkey and is called Zeytinyağlı Fasülye. The traditional cuisine doesn’t have peppers in the recipe. However, they make it more colorful and adds another layer of flavor. It can be eaten at room temperature as a salad, or as a second course. Perfect for lunch or even brunch.
I hope you enjoy.
Xx, Semra
