Baked climbing/runner bean a la Turk


Learned this recipe in a cooking school in Istanbul, using tomato sauce and garlic to cook bean slowly, I modified by baking in the oven and adding soy sauce. It is a good way to deal with a big harvest of beans, easily stored frozen and reheat to serve.



1. Break long beans by hand into roughly 5cm length, cut garlic into slices, wash a handful of oregano, mix in thick tomato paste, season lightly with salt and pepper.

2. Preheat oven to 200˚C, pour bean mixture into baking tray, bake at 150˚C for an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

3. While hot from the oven, add soy sauce and olive oil to enrich the sauce.
