Epic Turkish Bean Stew | How to make Kuru Fasulye

Kuru fasulye, Turkish white bean stew, is probably the most consumed dish in Turkey and is considered the national dish of Turkey. Today I'm making my favorite version which is a bit thicker than the usual recipe and has a more buttery and spicy flavor with sujuk, Turkish cured sausage. It's similar to Tavce Gravce, Macedonian or Balkan bean stew, but with a bit of Turkish twist.

Kuru fasulye means ‘dried beans’ and this recipe is traditionally made with dried white beans. Protein is also not a must have ingredient, so, if you’re vegan or vegetarian, just skip the meat.

I personally LOVE bean soup. I grew up eating beans out of a crock pot with butter bread. This strikes a nostalgia chord with me. And it looks absolutely amazing. Turkey has some of the best cuisine in the world apparently. And you bring us the ringside view, brother. Thank you!!
