I made this using edamame (fresh soybeans) and it was sooo tasty. The tomato and yogurt make a delicous, creamy sauce and beans with onion and garlic? What could be a better combination? Thanks, Surfsider, and thanks to Mehmet.

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!

These were very tasty beans and so healthy too! We served them chilled as part of a salad spread with burgers. When I made the recipe, it didn't say how big a can of tomatoes to use (the chef has since clarified this) so I used 3 fresh, medium vine-ripened tomatoes, roughly chopped. I was making a 1/2 quantity of the recipe. I also used thick Greek yogurt. Thanks for a great recipe!

I made this using the whole bean, sliced. It worked very well indeed and had an authentic Turkish taste. A firm favourite now!

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.

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.

Wow, what a delicious dish! My son brought home some broad beans from the vegetable farm at school, and I looked here on Recipezaar for what to do with them. I couldn't resist the addition of a little chilli and a pinch of cumin. We served it with rice. Lovely!!

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).
