Tomato paste, carrot, red pepper and cranberry bean stew is a Turkish-style home-cooked dish of cranberry beans simmered with vegetables and tomato paste. In Turkey, barbunya may be cooked fresh when in season or dried for use throughout the year; this version is a comforting, everyday pot meal.
The beans turn tender and creamy, while carrot adds sweetness and red pepper brings a gentle savoury flavour. Serve it warm with rice or bread, or let it cool to room temperature as part of a spread; it also works well alongside a crisp salad. It provides plant protein and fibre, with 5.8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter meal, keep the added oil modest and pair it with fresh vegetables.
