Bonensalade op Antalya-wijze met tahinsaus

HUGE thank you to the legend that is Özlem Warren - award winning Turkish food writer and chef - for sharing this beauty of a recipe from her new cookbook, SEBZE.

"We have a variety of bean salads and this Tahinli Fasulye Piyazı is a specialty from the Antalya region, on the southwest coast. It makes a substantial, nutritious, great-value lunch with flatbreads to mop up the delicious sauce"

It's traditionally served with hard boiled eggs and/or meatballs - but the salad is super fresh and hearty in it's own right, you can keep it as it is for a plant-based belter.
