Fresh green beans stew with meat is a home-style Turkish dish of fresh green beans simmered with bite-sized meat, usually alongside onion and tomato. The sauce and choice of meat vary from kitchen to kitchen, and some cooks leave it brothy while others reduce it until it clings to the beans.
The beans turn tender but can retain a little shape, while tomato gives the stew a gentle, savoury tang. In Turkey it is commonly served warm with rice or bread as a main meal; it can also be enjoyed at room temperature, especially in warmer weather. It offers both protein and fibre, with 5.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter meal, choose lean meat and serve it with a fresh salad or yoghurt.
