I don't know what flat bean is, but to see your picture is this similar with green beans ?
By the way, I tried your previous recipe (eggplant with tomato) - everybody loves the food, simple yet healthy - I add the sunny side egg for serving just to add calories into the food. Thank you for sharing your recipe ..
Hi Nisa-mom,
Thank you:) It is a good idea toserve it with the egg on the side:)
Green beans are popular throughout the USA and are often steamed or boiled.
Flat beans that I use in my dishes are flat, stringless green beans.
In Turkish cuisine they are cooked as an accompaniment to a variety of
main courses including lamb, beef, chicken or fish. They are also
cooked in olive oil as a side dish, here;

hi binnur. looks good. thanks for mentioning that it should be served with bread. this information helps a lot as what the dish is served with greatly effects the taste and everything. i usually bother you with my classic question " should this dish be served with bread, rice , pasta or burghul ?" but i didn't have to ask at this time. thank you :)
