A lesser-known but delicious olive-oil dish of Aegean cuisine in which mung beans are cooked in olive oil with onion and tomato. Served cold or lukewarm, this dish suits light dinner tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the onion

5 min

Heat the olive oil and add the finely chopped onion, sautéing until lightly golden.

2

Add the tomato

5 min

Add the grated tomato to the onion and sauté for a few more minutes.

3

Cook the mung beans

30 min

Add the soaked mung beans to the pot, add enough water to cover, add sugar and salt, then cook covered over low heat until the beans are softened.

Reminder

Important: Mung beans soften faster than other dried legumes — boiling them for too long can make them fall apart and turn mushy. Contains no allergen.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you let the dish rest at room temperature for a few hours after cooking, the olive oil's flavor soaks into the beans better.
