Ingredients
- ½ kilogram fresh young broad beans (washed & tips removed)
- 100 grams sucuk
- 2 large tomatoes (or 1x400 gram tin of chopped tomatoes)
- 1 onion (peeled, halved & sliced into half moons)
- 1 clove garlic (peeled & crushed)
- ½ mug hot water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- salt & pepper (to season)
Instructions
- First of all, pick through your broad beans. Remove the beans from the larger pods and with the smaller ones, cut them into roughly one inch pieces.
- Gently heat your olive oil in a frying pan and add your onion.
- Meanwhile, take your sucuk, cut into quarters lengthways and remove the outer skin.
- Now cut each strip of sucuk into rough bite-sized chunks and, once your onion is sweating, add your sucuk to the pan.
- Stir around for a couple of minutes until your sucuk starts to colour and release its juices.
- Now add your tomatoes, garlic and salt & pepper.
- Stir around and then allow your tomatoes to cook down for around 5 minutes before adding the hot water.
- Stir this and then add your broad beans to the pan, also.
- Now add your sugar & vinegar, stir around and taste the sauce.
- Add more of whatever you think is necessary.
- Leave your sucuk and broad beans to simmer, uncovered, for around 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, allow to cool a little and then serve.
Notes
- For this Turkish broad beans recipe, it is up to you how much water you add to your tomato sauce - it depends how dry or juicy you want your sucuk and broad beans to be.
- Sucuk is a very oily Turkish sausage so don't be tempted to add too much oil at the start of your cooking.
- As with all of our recipes, the calories per serving is meant as a rough guide. This can vary, depending on the brand of sucuk you prefer to use.
