About Çayeli Kuru Fasulye

Çayeli kuru fasulye is the bean-and-beef preparation documented for Çayeli in Rize. The official regional specification uses large white şeker beans and lean beef from the leg, with butter, onion and tomato paste.

Butter enriches the sauce around the beans, while beef and onion provide savoury flavour. Tomato paste gives the short ingredient list its concentrated vegetable base, with salt as the named seasoning.

The finished dish contains beans and pieces of beef in sauce. The specification presents it on a shallow porcelain plate, with pilav, yogurt, raw onion and pickles offered as optional accompaniments.
