Frequently Asked Questions About Unsweetened green bean stew

Can you make unsweetened green bean stew without adding sugar?

What kind of green beans are best for unsweetened green bean stew?

Why are the green beans in unsweetened green bean stew still tough?

What is Unsweetened green bean stew?
Unsweetened green bean stew is a Turkish home-style dish of green beans simmered with tomato, onion and oil. The name indicates that no sugar is added; the tomatoes still bring their own natural sweetness. Olive oil versions are especially familiar in Turkish cooking.
It can be served warm or at room temperature, with bread or rice; a spoonful of yogurt is another common accompaniment for those who eat dairy. The beans and tomato give the dish a vegetable-forward character, with 2.8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter version, use oil sparingly and let the vegetables soften gently rather than adding extra fat.
