About This Recipe
Dr Michal Nahman showed participants how to make this delicious refreshing Turkish salad in her sell out Blessed Hands cookery show which we hosted last month. This recipe has been adapted from the book Ozlem’s Turkish Table.
Ingredients
2 tins white cannellini or haricots beans (or the equivalent of soaked and cooked beans)
3 medium tomatoes, quartered and roughly chopped
1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 bunch of flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon salt
15ml/1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
10 ml/2 teaspoon ground sumac
½ teaspoon paprika
A drizzle of pomegranate molasses
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. 1. Rub and work sumac and the salt into the onion slices with your hands really well (this will soften the onions and help spices infuse in well).
2. 2. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, parsley and paprika flakes, combine well.
3. 3. Whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice and pour over the piyaz salad. Season with more salt (if needed) and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle the molasses
