The most famous hits of Turkish cuisine are, of course, sweets. Turkish delight, baklava, halva and all kinds of pastries of all varieties. Meat dishes that are firmly included in our menu - shish kebab, burek,... In addition - all kinds of soups, ayran, and, of course, doner kebab.

Few people know that Türkiye is the ancestor of overseas caviar - eggplant. Eggplant, or patlajan, as they say in Turkey, is the favorite vegetable of Turkish cuisine. And also one of the most popular meat products - basturma. This is the common name for their well-known beef jerky dish. The tenderloin is salted, kept under pressure, rolled in a mixture of spices (garlic, pepper, fenugreek), and then hung for a long time.

A great variety of sausages and smoked meats, in addition to basturma, are used both as an independent dish and as additions to other dishes. You can cook it with sausage by replacing pork belly with it.

Beans, other legumes, lentils - an invariable component of ezogelin - are very popular in Turkey, and cereal dishes are generally popular.

Cooking dry beans is not an easy task. If beans are not soaked in water for a long time before cooking, they can be cooked forever, resulting in bean porridge. It is best to soak the beans in cold water overnight and cook in the morning. It is also worth sorting through the beans, removing beans damaged by the bug. Cover the beans with cold water and place in the refrigerator overnight.
Beans, sausage and vegetables
In the morning, pour plenty of water over the beans and cook at a very low boil until tender. It is even better not to cover the pan with a lid in order to control the boiling - intense boiling or bubbling should not be allowed. The top layer of beans can begin to boil into porridge, when the inner layer is still raw, the bean shell easily bursts and the result is porridge. By the way, the store sells canned beans that are completely ready for use. You can also try.
Pour plenty of water over the beans and cook over very low heat until tender.
Drain the liquid in which the beans were cooked into a separate bowl and set aside for now. Place the finished beans in a colander to drain. Place the beans in a bowl and cover with a napkin, this will prevent them from drying out.
Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan or saucepan. Let the oil warm up until a characteristic smell appears. If desired, you can fry a flattened garlic clove in hot olive oil, then discard the garlic. This technique is often used, for example, in Italian cooking.
Peel the onion and cut into thin strips. Place chopped onion in hot oil.

Cut the meat chosen for the dish with beans and sausage into cubes. If it is a smoked sausage, it can be either pork or mixed meat, but be sure to remove the casing. If you prefer basturma, then it is better to cut it thinly - into slices or even strips. Smoked meat must be freed from remaining bones and skin, if any. By the way, I once cooked beans with sausage using balyk sausage, which did not contain minced meat, but quite large pieces of balyk - it turned out excellent.
Add chopped sausage or meat to the fried onions. Fry the sausage and onions over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Recipe 5: Obzhorka salad with sausage and beans (step by step)

“Obzhorka” salad with beans and smoked sausage, a recipe with a photo of which I offer, is one of those salads that can be prepared and eaten all year round. It doesn’t get boring, doesn’t become boring and is always relevant. I cook it in the summer too. And in winter. There is always a reason to serve a delicious dish and the “Obzhorka” salad is one of those. If I'm preparing for a holiday, I always serve a couple of salads to the table so that everyone can please themselves and eat deliciously.

Few people will want to eat just potatoes; you always want to add something, and salads are delicious additions to any table. I personally like the combination of smoked sausage and beans, so the “Obzhorka” salad is always loved at our table, so I’ve already memorized the recipe, and I’ll tell you everything in detail.

300 grams of smoked sausage,
250 grams of canned red beans,
150 grams of tomato,
150 grams of hard cheese,
180 grams of mayonnaise,
a little parsley for serving,
salt as desired.

We clean the sausage from the film and cut it into long strips. In this form it will be convenient to eat the salad; pieces of sausage will be easily pricked on a fork.

We cut the tomatoes into slices, cutting off the stems. For this salad, firm varieties of tomatoes and those fruits that are not overripe are suitable, which means they do not contain much juice and the slices in the salad will remain as intact as possible. If the salad contains juicy tomatoes, it will contain a lot of juice and excess liquid, and this is not good.

Start mixing the salad: combine the sausage, tomatoes and add beans without marinade. Drain the marinade from the jar in advance from the canned beans. For “Obzhorka” I use canned red beans in their own juice. These beans are very tasty and do not have a pronounced taste, but they are very nutritious and go well with smoked sausage.

Finely chop fresh herbs, this time it is aromatic parsley.

Grate some hard cheese and the salad is almost ready.

As a dressing, add mayonnaise to the salad and stir a couple of times. If desired, we can add salt, but I don’t always do it. You can use just one pinch of salt and it will be delicious.

The good thing about the ready-made “Obzhorka” salad with beans and smoked sausage is that it does not need to be soaked, and is served immediately after preparation.

Recipe 6: salad with beans and smoked sausage (with photo)

The salad with canned red beans and smoked sausage is very satisfying, and fresh cucumber and green onions add a refreshing touch. My recipe today with photos will show you in detail all the stages of preparing a simple, but no less tasty salad.

canned beans - 1 can
cucumber - 200-250 gr
smoked sausage – 200 gr
green onions - 30 g
mayonnaise

The main ingredient of the salad is canned red beans. I used a 425 gram jar. Who cares, but I always rinse canned beans with running water before using them. This procedure makes the grains clean, and the brine with turbidity and small particles goes away with the water.

Therefore, we open the jar, drain all the marinade, and put the grains in a colander. Rinse the grains under the tap and let them sit for a while to drain off excess liquid.

In the meantime, let's prepare the remaining products.

Wash a fresh cucumber, weighing approximately 200–250 grams, thoroughly and cut into strips or cubes. I like to grate cucumber into strips on a special grater.

Remove the packaging from the semi-smoked sausage and cut it into strips with a knife. For this salad we need 200 grams of sausage.

Cut 30 grams of green onions into wheels.

When all the products are ready, transfer them to one container.

Mix well.

Part of the salad can be salted, seasoned with mayonnaise, and placed in a salad bowl. The second part can be put in the refrigerator, but do not forget that chopped salads are stored in a cool place for no more than 24 hours.

Such a simple, but satisfying and tasty salad with canned red beans, smoked sausage and fresh cucumber looks very decent on the holiday table, and the fact that it is simply not difficult to make gives this recipe an additional bonus.

Wash the white beans and soak them overnight in cold water. Drain the water, rinse the beans, add clean water in a ratio of 1:3 and set to cook until tender. We drain the water in which the beans were cooked, but do not pour them out.

Cut the onion into half rings, and three carrots on a coarse grater.

We clean the sausages and cut them into rings.

Fry the onions and carrots in vegetable oil until golden brown, add sausages, salt and spices, fry everything together for a few minutes.

From the author: “I suggest you prepare a delicious dish from this wonderful gift of vegetable gardens - stewed beans in tomato. I added raw smoked sausages to the composition - for color and aroma; however, you can do without them: in any case, it will turn out very satisfying and appetizing.”
Ingredients:
2 cups dry beans;
1-2 onions;
1-2 carrots;
2 tbsp. sunflower oil;
2-3 tbsp. tomato paste;
1 tbsp. flour;
0.5 liters of water for gravy + 1 liter for soaking and cooking beans;
1 tsp salt (without top);
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper;
smoked sausages – 1 per serving;
2-3 cloves of garlic;
A bunch of parsley.

For long-term storage, the beans are well dried, and there is practically no moisture left in them. It takes a lot of time for dry legumes to become saturated with it again. Therefore, in order for the beans to cook quickly, turn out soft and tasty, they must first be soaked for at least 3-4 hours, and preferably for 8-12, ideally overnight.

Let the beans soaked in water cook, adding a little water if necessary. Cook at a low simmer for about half an hour, almost until the beans begin to become soft. Don't forget to add salt!

In the meantime, prepare the tomato-vegetable gravy. Peel and rinse onions and carrots. Chop the onion finely and lightly fry, stirring, in vegetable oil: 2-3 minutes, until slightly transparent. Take a deep frying pan so that the beans and gravy can fit in it later.

When the onion becomes soft, add coarsely grated carrots to it. Continue frying over low heat, stirring occasionally for another 3-4 minutes.

Then stir the tomato paste in 2.5 glasses of water and pour it into the pan with the fried vegetables. Stir and bring to a boil.

Pour flour into a cup, add a little water and stir so that there are no lumps left. Pour into the gravy and stir. Flour is needed to thicken the sauce.

It's time to pour the boiled beans into the gravy - they are almost ready, let them simmer together with the gravy for another 5-7 minutes, covered.

Then add spices: peppercorns and bay leaf. Add some salt to taste.
Next add the sausages and finely chopped parsley. If you have dried dill or basil, feel free to season it with herbs, the dish will turn out more flavorful! You can put the sausages whole, or you can cut them into pieces to make it easier to eat. In addition to raw smoked ones, like “Okhotnichye”, you can stew beans with homemade chicken or meat sausages-kupata. They just need to be boiled or baked first, since such sausages are sold raw.

When the gravy with all the ingredients simmers for another 2-3 minutes, the dish is ready.

Stewed beans with sausages in tomato sauce can be served as a separate dish or as an addition to a side dish of potatoes or cereals. It is delicious both hot and cold!
