This recipe has a most romantic source. A few years ago my husband and I chartered a small gulet to explore the coast of Turkey. Our captain, cook and guide was Mehmet. We moved around the Gulf of Fethiye, looking at ruins and swimming by day, mooring each night in a different place. One night, Mehmet cooked these beans and gave me the recipe. I'm very happy that I can share it with you.

This was very tasty and reminded me of my last visit to Turkey (oh for a bit of their hot sunshine right now!). I made the recipe exactly as listed except I added a handful of diced peppers to add a bit more colour and a teaspoon of paprika (my personal preference).

    This was wonderful, I used less ingredients to serve 3 adults and even my non eating vegetable son ate it (and enjoyed!) The colours are great and the flavours wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

    This was great! We had had something similar in Turkey with chillis and cumin, so to cook I added 2 chillis, one chopped and left one whole and a bay leaf. To serve I garnished the dish with freshly ground cumin. We served it as a main meal on rice - fantastic, thanks Mehmet!

    Wow, this recipe is amazing. It is one of the best things I have eaten from recipe zaar. It is so simple and tasty. I served with pita bread.
