This quite simple recipe is also often used in Turkey to prepare other vegetables such as regular string beans, wax beans and even okras.

It includes red onions which are usually preferred cooked in Turkish cuisine, while yellow onions are used raw, mostly in salads.

This recipe works just as well with frozen vegetables.
