What is Bean Stew with Sausage?

Bean stew with sausage is a Turkish-style home-cooked dish of dried white beans simmered with onion and tomato paste, with slices of sucuk adding a garlicky, warmly spiced flavour. The beans turn tender in a thick, savoury broth, while the sausage seasons the whole pot.

In Turkey it is commonly served for lunch or dinner, often with rice, pickles and bread, especially on chilly days. It is filling, with fibre and plant protein from the beans and extra richness from the sausage. For a lighter version, use less sausage and oil, and serve it with a fresh salad. Sucuk is a distinctive Turkish cured sausage, rather than a plain mild sausage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bean Stew with Sausage

How do you make bean stew with sausage?

Brown sliced sucuk, the spicy Turkish sausage traditionally used in this dish, then cook onion and tomato paste in the same pot. Add soaked, cooked beans and water or stock, and simmer until the beans take on the sauce.

What kind of sausage goes in bean stew with sausage?

Turkish sucuk is the traditional choice for bean stew with sausage: a strongly seasoned, cured sausage that brings a garlicky, spicy flavor. Brown the slices first, and taste before adding salt because sucuk is already salty.

What do you serve with bean stew with sausage?

Bean stew with sausage is commonly served with rice pilaf, pickles, and raw onion in Turkey. For a lighter meal, pair it with a crisp salad or yogurt instead of adding a large serving of rice.

Do you need to soak the beans for bean stew with sausage?

Yes, soak dried beans before making bean stew with sausage to help them cook evenly and become tender. Drain and rinse them before cooking; otherwise, the beans may take much longer to soften in the stew.

Can you make bean stew with sausage in a pressure cooker?

Yes, a pressure cooker works well for bean stew with sausage, especially when using soaked dried beans. Follow your cooker’s instructions for beans, and add the sausage and tomato base so their flavor seasons the cooking liquid.

Can you use canned beans in bean stew with sausage?

Yes, canned beans are a convenient shortcut for bean stew with sausage. Drain and rinse them, then stir them into the browned sausage and tomato base near the end, cooking just long enough for the beans to absorb the flavors.

How is bean stew with sausage different from ordinary Turkish kuru fasulye?

Bean stew with sausage adds slices of sucuk to the familiar Turkish tomato-and-bean stew. Sucuk makes the broth richer, spicier, and saltier than the plain version, so season the pot only after the sausage has flavored it.

How should you store leftover bean stew with sausage?

Cool leftover bean stew with sausage promptly, transfer it to a covered container, and refrigerate it. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until steaming hot, rather than repeatedly warming the whole pot.

Can you freeze bean stew with sausage?

Yes, bean stew with sausage freezes well. Cool it first and portion it into airtight containers; thaw in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly. The beans may soften a little, so add a splash of water if the stew thickens.

Does bean stew with sausage cause bloating?

It can: beans may cause gas or bloating for some people, while the sausage mainly adds fat and salt. Soaking dried beans, draining the soaking water, and starting with a smaller serving may make the dish easier to tolerate.
