White Bean Salad

One of 3 versions of Kuru Fasulye (White Bean Stew). The table below shows how their ingredients differ.

Ingredients

Servings 6 people
  • 300 gram beans · dried
  • 250 gram beef ham
  • 4 piece potato
  • 1 litre meat stock
  • 100 gram beans · fresh
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

How to make it

Open in kitchen mode
  1. Wash the white beans and leave them overnight in the meat stock.
  2. The next day, boil the beans in that stock for an hour and a half.
  3. Lift the cooked beans out of the stock with a slotted spoon.
  4. Pass them through a sieve to make a purée.
  5. Boil the potatoes and purée them as well.
  6. Cut the ham into small squares and sauté it in a little oil.
  7. Boil the green beans, cut them small and add them to the ham.
  8. Add the garlic and the other spices and cook briefly.
  9. Mix the potato purée, the bean purée and the ham mixture together.
  10. Add the remaining stock to this mixture a little at a time until it reaches the consistency of a thick mash.
  11. Cover the top with finely chopped parsley and serve.
Tips

Do not add all of the stock; add it little by little, watching the consistency. Soaking the beans in meat stock deepens the flavour noticeably. You can use a food processor instead of a sieve, but the sieve gives a silkier purée.
