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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Gently heat your olive oil in a frying pan and add your onion.
  3. Meanwhile, take your sucuk, cut into quarters lengthways and remove the outer skin.
  4. Now cut each strip of sucuk into rough bite-sized chunks and, once your onion is sweating, add your sucuk to the pan.
  5. Stir around for a couple of minutes until your sucuk starts to colour and release its juices.
  6. Now add your tomatoes, garlic and salt & pepper.
  7. Stir around and then allow your tomatoes to cook down for around 5 minutes before adding the hot water.
  8. Stir this and then add your broad beans to the pan, also.
  9. Now add your sugar & vinegar, stir around and taste the sauce.
  10. Add more of whatever you think is necessary.
  11. Leave your sucuk and broad beans to simmer, uncovered, for around 15 minutes.
  12. 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.
