The easiest way to cook fresh green beans: A delicious Turkish sauté

Fasulye kavurması is a practical Turkish dish that turns fresh green beans into a simple summer meal.

The recipe uses 500 grams of fresh green beans, two onions, two tomatoes, green peppers, two to three tablespoons of vegetable oil, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes.

After washing and trimming the beans, cut them into smaller pieces if desired. Sauté the chopped onions in a wide pan until they turn golden, then add the finely chopped green peppers. Add the beans and cook them together with the onions and peppers.

Cover the pan and leave it over low heat so the beans soften. Add peeled, chopped tomatoes once the beans begin to cook, then season with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the tomatoes release their juices and the beans become fully tender. Serve the dish hot or warm.
