Chilled items & warm-weather notice
We ship chilled (perishable) foods with ice-gel packs, kept refrigerated. In warm weather, light oil sweating on cured products such as sucuk/pastırma, or softening of cheese, is normal and not a sign of spoilage — it returns to normal once chilled. Please refrigerate items immediately on delivery and be available to receive your order on the delivery day.
Perishable foods are exempt from the 14-day change-of-mind return; your statutory rights for genuine quality or safety issues remain unaffected.
Description
Burcu fasulye pilaki is a 400 g can of beans cooked in the Turkish pilaki style, with vegetables and a tomato based sauce. It comes ready to eat, so you can serve it straight from the can, chilled or gently warmed, with bread or rice.
What pilaki means
Pilaki is a family of Turkish dishes in which beans or fish are slowly cooked with onion, garlic, carrot, potato and tomato in oil, then left to cool. The flavour develops as it rests, which is why cooks often make it a day ahead. Fasulye means beans, so the name tells you the main ingredient.
Burcu is a Turkish brand known in our range for canned vegetables, pastes and vinegars. For the exact type of bean used, the full ingredient list, oil type, salt level and allergens, check the label on the can before you buy or eat.
How to serve fasulye pilaki
On the meze table
Pilaki belongs on a Turkish meze table. Turn the beans into a shallow dish, squeeze over some lemon, scatter chopped parsley and add a little olive oil. Serve alongside white cheese, olives, stuffed peppers, haydari and warm bread. A plate of pilaki and a glass of rakı is a classic meyhane pairing.
As a quick meal
Warm the beans in a small pan and serve them over bulgur pilaf or rice. Add a fried egg on top for extra protein, or stir in a handful of spinach until it wilts. For a heartier plate, brown a few slices of sucuk in a dry pan, then tip in the beans and warm everything through together. The spiced fat from the sausage soaks into the sauce.
In a packed lunch
A can of pilaki makes an easy lunchbox filler. Spoon it into a container with a wedge of lemon and some bread on the side. It needs no reheating, which is handy at work or school.
Finishing touches
- A pinch of sumac or pul biber for colour and a little heat.
- Thinly sliced spring onion or red onion.
- Chopped fresh dill, which goes well with beans in oil.
- A few cubes of white cheese stirred through right before serving.
Why a canned version helps
Making pilaki from scratch takes time: dried beans need soaking overnight and cooking for an hour or more. A can cuts that down to a minute. Fasulye pilaki is filling, meat free and cheap per portion, so a few cans in the cupboard give you a fall back for evenings when there is no time to cook. Canned pilaki also travels well on picnics, camping trips and long drives, since it needs no cooking and no fridge until the can is open.
Storage
Keep unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer what is left to a covered container and keep it in the fridge, then eat it within a day or two. Do not store food in an open can.
