The tomatoes soften into a pleasantly tangy sauce, while the beans keep some bite. It fits the tradition of simple, seasonal Turkish home cooking, where vegetables often take centre stage.
Serve it warm or at room temperature with bread or rice; it also works as part of a larger spread of small dishes.
