A classic pilaki where soaked cranberry beans meet onion, carrot, and fresh tomato and are cooked in their own juices. An essential of olive-oil tables, this recipe is served with a splash of lemon after cooling.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the beans

30 min

Drain the soaked borlotti beans and boil them in a pressure cooker with plenty of water until soft; the beans should reach a consistency where they mash easily.

2

Sauté the vegetables

8 min

Sauté the onion and carrot in olive oil over low heat until softened.

3

Add the tomato and cook

8 min

Add the chopped tomato, sauté for a few minutes, then add water and salt and bring to a boil.

4

Combine with the beans

20 min

Combine the boiled borlotti beans with the sauce and cook over low heat until the liquid reduces slightly. Note: Once the beans start to boil, skim off the foam that forms.

5

Let rest and serve

15 min

Remove from heat and let rest until it reaches room temperature; sprinkle parsley on top and serve with lemon slices.

Reminder

Important: Soak the borlotti beans in plenty of water the night before; soaking time is not included in the cooking time. Caution: Skim the foam that forms once the beans start boiling, otherwise the dish may taste bitter. Allergen: contains no common allergen.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you let the pilaki rest in the refrigerator overnight after cooking, the flavors blend together better and you get a fuller taste at serving time.

Baharat oranını kendime göre ayarladım, tarifin ruhunu bozmadı. Kabuğunu soymadan denedim, dokusu daha iyiydi bence. Un yerine yulaf ezmesi kattım, kıvamı bozmadı.

Tarif güzel ama anlatım biraz karışık geldi, adımlar netleştirilebilir. Bu tarifin klasik versiyonunu farklı biliyordum, yine de denemek güzeldi. Herkes bayıldı diyor ama bende beklediğim tat çıkmadı.
