Ispir white bean stew with meat takes its name from İspir, a town in Turkey’s Erzurum region, known for its large dried beans. The beans simmer with meat until tender, becoming soft and creamy while the cooking liquid turns rich and savoury.
In Turkey, it is commonly served hot as a filling lunch or dinner, often alongside rice pilaf, bread and pickles. Elsewhere, it makes an easy one-pot meal, especially in cooler weather; a crisp salad is a fresh contrast. Beans and meat make it a substantial source of protein, while the beans also contribute fibre. For a lighter serving, pair it with vegetables and keep added oil modest.
