Posof white bean stew is a traditional-style dried white bean dish associated with Posof, a district in Türkiye’s Ardahan province. It is cooked until tender, commonly with an onion-and-tomato-paste base.
To make Posof white bean stew, soak dried white beans, then simmer them with sautéed onion, tomato paste, and water until tender. Household recipes differ, including whether they add meat or which fat they use.
Posof white bean stew is a regional version of Turkish kuru fasulye, the familiar dried-bean stew. The name points to its association with Posof, rather than to one universally fixed recipe or a wholly different kind of dish.
Its defining distinction is its connection to Posof and local home cooking, not a single ingredient that appears in every version. Recipes can vary from household to household, so claims of one exclusive preparation should be treated cautiously.
It can be made with or without meat. Posof white bean stew recipes vary, and a meat-free pot can use beans, onion, tomato paste, and seasonings; check the specific recipe if you need to know how it was prepared.
Posof white bean stew is made with dried white beans. Choose intact beans of similar size so they cook evenly; beans that have been stored for a long time may take longer to soften.
Serve Posof white bean stew with rice pilaf, pickles, or a fresh salad. Rice is a familiar Turkish pairing that complements the savory bean sauce and makes the stew a fuller meal.
Soaking the dried beans before making Posof white bean stew helps them cook more evenly and become tender. Drain and rinse the soaking water, then cook the beans in fresh water with the stew ingredients.
Yes, Posof white bean stew freezes well. Cool it, portion it into airtight containers, and freeze; the beans may soften further after thawing, and a splash of water while reheating can loosen the sauce.
Refrigerate leftover Posof white bean stew in a covered container once it has cooled, without leaving it at room temperature for an extended period. Eat it within a few days and reheat it thoroughly before serving.
