Questions

What is Piyaz?

A classic Turkish white bean salad tossed with sumac marinated red onions, fresh parsley, and a bright lemon olive oil dressing. Garnished with hard-boiled egg slices for a satisfying side or light lunch. This reference files it under Turkish salad: made on the stovetop, rated easy and about 25 minutes start to finish.

Is there a substitute for sumac in Piyaz?

The entry for Piyaz calls for 1 tbsp ground sumac. In its place: Lemon zest with a pinch of salt gives the same bright sourness. Add it at the end, as you would the sumac.

Can I use dried beans instead of canned in Piyaz?

Is Piyaz vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan salad collection.

Does Piyaz contain eggs?
