To make green bean mince stew, brown minced meat with onion, then add chopped green beans, tomatoes or tomato paste, and water. Simmer until the beans are tender, checking the liquid as it cooks so the stew does not dry out.
Green bean mince stew usually contains green beans, minced meat, onion, tomatoes or tomato paste, oil, and water. Garlic, peppers, and herbs or spices are common additions, but the exact combination varies between household recipes.
Yes, frozen green beans work in green bean mince stew. Add them straight from the freezer rather than thawing them first, and check them as they cook because they may soften sooner than fresh beans.

Green bean mince stew keeps in the refrigerator for a few days when cooled promptly and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, making sure it is hot throughout.

Green bean mince stew is a home-style Turkish dish of fresh green beans cooked slowly with minced meat, usually with onion and tomato; family recipes may include other seasonal vegetables. As the beans soften, they take on the savoury flavour of the meat and cooking juices, making a hearty, spoonable stew rather than a dry meat-and-vegetable dish.
In Turkey it is commonly served for lunch or dinner, often with rice, bread or yoghurt. It also reheats well, so leftovers make an easy next-day meal. The combination of vegetables and meat gives it both fibre and protein; each 100 g provides 7.1 g of protein and 2.6 g of fibre. For a lighter plate, keep the added oil modest and pair it with a fresh salad or yoghurt instead of a large helping of rice.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
