Pickled beans sautéed with egg and cornmeal is a home-style variation of pickled-vegetable sauté associated with Turkey’s Black Sea region. Beans preserved as pickles are cooked in a pan with cornmeal and egg, making a tangy, filling dish that also puts winter stores to use.
The beans turn tender and pleasantly sharp, while the cornmeal adds a toasty note. In Turkey it may be served warm with bread as a simple meal or alongside other dishes; elsewhere, it works well as a savoury brunch or side. It provides protein and fibre, but can taste quite salty because of the pickles. If yours are especially briny, rinse and drain them briefly before cooking.
