spicy vegan dish

Wash the green beans and trim off some of the tops and bottoms. Then cut into finger-length pieces. Bring the water, pelati, bouillon powder, garlic, turmeric, tomato paste, pul biber, and onions to a boil. Simmer the beans for about 25-30 minutes (depending on their thickness). Season with salt, if desired, and gently stir in the dried mint. Divide between two plates and serve. Serve with boiled potatoes. Tip: If you’re not vegan, this also works well as a vegetable side dish for meat.
