Kuru Fasulye & Pilav

Servings: 2
Difficulty: Easy
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Pilav:

1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of vermicelli
1 cup of rice, soaked and drained
1 pinch of salt
1+3/4 cups of boiling water

For the Kuru Fasulye:

1/2 onion, chopped
1.5 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of olive oil
50 g of sucuk, sliced (you can use any cured meat)
1 clove of garlic, sliced
1 green pepper, thickly sliced
125 ml (1/2 cup) of tomato puree (you can use tomato juice or passata)
1.5 pinches of salt
1.5 pinches of black pepper
400 g of boiled or canned white beans, with cooking water.

Instructions:

For the Pilav:

In a small pan, add the butter and olive oil, and brown the vermicelli.
Add the rice to the pan, continue to sauté, and keep stirring. Be careful not to roast it too harshly, as this may release their starch and cause the rice to become mushy.
When the rice turns transparent, add the boiling water to the pan, give it a mix, close the lid, and place the pan on a low heat burner. Simmer until all the water is absorbed, then turn off the heat. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
For the Kuru Fasulye:

In a small saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil, then sauté the onions.
Once the onions are cooked, add sucuk, garlic, and green pepper to the saucepan and stir.
Pour in the tomato puree, add salt and black pepper, and when it starts to boil, add the white beans with the cooking water. Stir well.
To make the “kuru fasulye” brighter and more delicious, add a last-minute pat of butter and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
When everything is ready, transfer the pilav to a dish and add the delicious “kuru fasulye” on top of the pilav. You can enjoy this dish with some pickles and a teaspoon of mustard.

  1. I rarely make rice now that I make bulgur every week (!) but I will try cooking it with the vermicelli. Thank you for another excellent video, Refika and team!

  2. We are all shocked here just because i have mentioned about KuruPilav and added that Refika probably had that. Unluckily , you didn’t two days ago. Today, here you are 🤟
    Turkish Cuisine is best and richest in the world by far !
    It is an ongoing blend of a five-thousand year of history .
    Here, in the UK, you can not describe what Sulu Yemek is.
    Impossible !
    Esnaf Lokantası , no way !
    Zeytinyağlılar kill them all.
    All the best ,
    Elinize sağlık🙏🏻

  3. I miss cooking with my kids. I had 4 and needed help cooking enough for everyone. Especially egg rolls and pierogi. We loved them so had to make a lot.

  4. Love this food series idea. And your big hearts for all those who are struggling financially today.❣It would be great if you could figure out Christmas food under the same theme.

  5. Wow, thank you, people waste money on junk food because they don’t know how to cook or complain they don’t have time , please make dishes with eggs for lunch or dinner., eggs are cheap and they are supper food , old days it was a luxury food . 😂😂😂

  6. Thank you. Your idea of featuring healthy, inexpensive, and fast meals is great! I am a huge fan of the work you are doing. Everyone should know how fantastic Turkish food is!

  7. Love love ❤❤ would love some vegan dishes in this series❤❤❤

  8. Thanks Refika, love your channel and innovative food creations, my wife and I will be in Istanbul in early December, would appreciate your recommendations for authentic Turkish cusine.

  9. I made this morning – I prefer to leave for a good few hours – and this is just so yummie! Whilst loving rice, I am going down the crusty bread route but please keep these coming – I know it's not exactly 10 mins but any chance of a Perde Pilav?

  10. Thank you for this! I adapted it for my food sensitivities and it still turned out amazing! It made 5 servings so I have one each day for work. I'm eating it right now for lunch!

    1) Used all olive oil, different brands to change it up. No dairy.

    2) Instead of sausages I broke up left over meat from bacon beef burgers.

    3) Instead of wheat vermicelli I broke up dry rice (with bran) spaghetti noodles. I've never fried pasta before and I can eat that as a snack! It's delicious!

    4) Used parsley, cayenne, mustard, and tumeric for flavor.

  11. Appreciate what you are doing Refika. Anything healthy, vegetarian and pocket friendly which can be made in 10 mins before rushing to work?
    Would love some new idea.

  12. Thank you! Here my budget meals are all eggs, and medically I have to avoid starches. Do you have any recommendations?

  13. We would love to see more videos like this, people are starving and can't even feed their children. Thank you Refika.

  14. I can see some resemblance to the Asturias Fabada.
    We, in Venezuela eat this type of beans ( Caraotas Blancas ) and I love it. And another thing that surprised me was the rice with the noodles, we must have some turkish influences for sure.

  15. In my city in UK a Turkish restaurant just won an award for best in their category which I thought was pretty cool.

  16. Oh wow. My Kuru fasulye is very traditional. Yours is more innovative and looks delish too. I usually use fresh meat. This version is for busy people. I'm gonna try this. Sağol

  17. Looks so delicious as usual Refika, will make it for dinner very soon. Not sure about it being healthy tho, thats a lot of butter and oil!!

  18. Thanks for a wonderful video today and something yummy for dinner. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy, and Debbie.

  19. Thank you/Teşekkürler! I've watched many of your videos, but this is the first dish I've made. It was so easy I had to try it. I love a simple, cheap dish. It tasted really good and the butter to finish was perfect. I had to sub orzo for vermicelli. I followed the same directions and it turned out well. I also added a few extra beans to stretch it for 3 and ended up with a full extra 4th meal!

  20. I made this the other day – it was wonderful! Thanks you – this is a great idea and I'm looking forward to trying more of these quick and affordable meals.

  21. I pickle lemon peels. In 2 months they are hard and taste like parmesan..the flavouring is some mor fun

  22. Watching you is like doing a Yoga….So fulfilling and calm….. Fantastic..Thank you🎉

  23. Thank you Refika, I really appreciate what you are doing. thanks!
