Piyaz is the classic companion to köfte: white beans tossed with red onions, tomatoes, parsley and boiled eggs in a creamy tahini dressing. In Antalya it is a main course in its own right.
Method
Rinse and drain the beans.
Stir tahini with lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt and 3 tbsp water into a creamy dressing.
Slice the onion into thin rings and rub with salt and sumac; dice the tomatoes, chop the parsley.
Toss the beans with dressing, onions, tomatoes and parsley.
Top with egg quarters, sprinkle with pul biber and serve.
Tip from the storeFresh eggs and tahini from our store – boil the eggs for 9 minutes so the yolk stays bright yellow.
