Description
Pilaki — dried white beans (kuru fasulye) cooked with tomato, carrot, onion, and olive oil, served cold — is the quintessential Turkish zeytinyağlı legume preparation. The beans absorb the olive oil-tomato-vegetable cooking liquid during a long, gentle simmer, producing a completely different character from the same beans cooked in water. Served cold, with good bread, it is one of the most deeply satisfying preparations in Turkish cooking.
