Green beans with minced meat and olive oil is a Turkish home-style pot dish, made by simmering chopped green beans with ground meat, olive oil and often onion. The beans soften as they cook and take on the savoury flavour of the meat and the gentle fruitiness of the oil.
It is usually served warm, either as a simple main with rice or bread, or alongside other dishes; a spoonful of yoghurt makes a cool contrast. The beans bring fibre, while the meat contributes protein, making this a more substantial vegetable dish than plain green beans. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of olive oil and let the beans take up most of the plate.
