Kurufasülye

Kurufasulye (white beans with rice) is a really traditional Turkish dish. It means to us what pasta does to Italians. If you have pickled vegetables, especially cabbage, with it, you cannot expect more. There are variations of this recipe based on what kind of meat you want to use, or you may skip meat part altogether. You can cook white beans with stew beef or lamb, with ground meat, pastrami (pastirma), and/or soujuk (sucuk, Turkish sausage).
