jennifer@turkey.sun.comBarbunyali PlakiIngredients (use vegan versions): 16 ounce can of pinto or white beans
1 large carrot, finely diced
8-10 cloves of garlic, crushed or minced
1 large onion, finely diced
4 tomatoes, diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
water to cover
Directions:Sautee onion, garlic and carrot in a pot. When nearly done, add tomatoes, beans, and just enough water to meet the level of the beans. Simmer for 15 minutes. Serve chilled.
**Pinto beans tend to give intestinal gas, but if dry pinto beans are boiled with baking soda, the problem should be minimized. White beans or navy beans are also suitable for this recipe.
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Thiamin, B6, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and Vitamin C are destroyed by the baking soda. Discarding the soaking water, rinsing, and adding fresh water before cooking is the best way to reduce gas. Some gas is NORMAL.

Thanks for the tip about the soda. I've found that if you use fresh beans instead of canned or dry, you won't suffer any flatulence. If you use fresh beans, buy 1.5 to twice as much as you normally would (if you have to shuck them).

This is a traditional Hellenic recipe with origins to the Armies of Alexander. It is best served with a dash of Lemon Juice! Regards and celebrate life through apetising food. Cheers!!!!

beans, beans, the magical fruit...no seriously, you should just cook them fresh and leave the good stuff in them. unless you have, like, a hot date or business meeting or something. cause in my opinion, they taste better. plus, farting is funny.

Good and simple. I would often throw beans and stewed tomatoes together for a quick meal. This was a nice twist. Easy to make, simple flavors, and tastes great for lunch the next day. I used white beans. Unfortunately, my tomatoes were bad and I had to use canned diced tomatoes which I know probably really took away from the recipe. I think it gave it a sweeter taste, but the suggested squeezed lemon on top was a wonderful addition. I am sure its better with the proper fresh diced tomatos. I will make the right way next time.
