Dermason bean stew is a Turkish-style dish made with Dermason beans, a large white-bean variety, simmered in a savory sauce, commonly with onion and tomato paste. It can be prepared with olive oil for a meat-free version or with meat.
To make Dermason bean stew, soak the dried beans, then cook them with sautéed onion, tomato paste, and water or stock until tender. Add salt toward the end and adjust the liquid so the stew is saucy rather than dry.
Yes, cooked canned white beans can be used in Dermason bean stew, although they may not be Dermason beans specifically. Drain and rinse them, then stir them into the cooked onion-and-tomato base and simmer just long enough to absorb the flavors.
Great Northern or another large white bean is a practical substitute for Dermason beans in Dermason bean stew. The texture may differ slightly, so cook the beans until tender before combining them with the sauce.
Beans in Dermason bean stew often stay hard because they are old or because acidic ingredients, such as tomatoes, were added before they softened. Cook the beans in plain water first, then add tomato paste or tomatoes to finish the stew.
Dermason bean stew can be made with or without meat. Turkish home versions include both; meat is usually browned with the onion before the beans and liquid are added, while an olive-oil version relies on the beans and tomato-based sauce.
Serve Dermason bean stew with rice, bulgur, or crusty bread to soak up its sauce. A crisp salad or pickled vegetables make a good contrast, and yogurt is a common accompaniment when the meal is not dairy-free.
Yes, Dermason bean stew freezes well. Cool it, divide it into airtight portions, and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating. The beans may soften further after freezing, so warm the stew gently to help them keep their shape.
Dermason bean stew keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it once it has cooled, rather than leaving it out for an extended time, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
It can: the beans in Dermason bean stew contain fermentable carbohydrates that may cause gas or bloating in some people. Soaking dried beans, discarding the soaking water, and cooking them until fully tender can make the dish easier to tolerate.

Dermason bean stew is a Turkish home-style dish made with Dermason beans, a large, pale bean grown in Turkey. The beans are simmered until tender, usually with onion, tomato or tomato paste and oil; recipes vary, and this version can be made without meat.
The beans turn soft while the sauce becomes rich and hearty. In Turkey, the stew is often served as a main meal with rice pilaf, bread and pickles, and it also suits a simple weeknight dinner. It provides plant protein and fibre, with 6.1 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter meal, use a modest amount of oil and add a fresh salad on the side.
