pilaki recipes???

[Guest guest]

Hi there!

 

While dining at a Turkish restaraunt over the weekend I discovered a

fantastic appetizer called Pilaki. Does anyone in the group have a

recipe for this???

 

Thank you!!

Pilaki, essentially a bean salad, has probably as many variations as there are

cooks, don't you think. It's beans - kidney beans, white beans, great northern,

you pick - and cooked garlic, chopped carrot, chopped celery, chopped onion,

chopped tomato, with parsley in olive oil etc., isn't it. I don't make it

myself, but

that's what I recall. I've also had it made with lentils.

 

I googled and came up with a whole lot of recipes (warning - some have f*sh),

and these two seemed typical of a vegetarian pilaki:

Anyone else out there have a recipe they've tried?

 

Sorry I can't be more help, but it's not quite what I make - dunno why not!

What a good idea.

 

Best,

The name of the dish sounds like a Pokemon character.
