Piyaz, usually a name for a salad with beans in Turkish cuisine, is adopted from the Persian word, (फ़ारसी) meaning onions. This version with the chickpeas is called “Nohut Piyazi”, meaning “Piyaz with Chickpeas”.
One of the best things about Nohut Piyazı is its versatility – you can use a variety of vegetables to suit your taste, and it's easy to adjust the recipe to make it spicier or milder. It's also perfect for a light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish to accompany grilled meats or fish.

Whether you're a vegan looking for new meal ideas or just want to try something new and delicious, you won't want to miss this easy and tasty Turkish dish. Give Nohut Piyazı a try and let me know what you think in the comments!

    Wow, this video is so amazing. No extra sound effects. Just the sounds of knife, pans, frying vegetables. Superb
  • @en2336
    Love the relaxing peaceful vibes. The chopping sounds are so satisfying. Delicious recipe too
  • @AJ-7-316
    I just made this… so so good. I added chopped cabbage, julienne cut carrots and yellow peppers in addition to red to add more veggies nutrients to make it a dinner meal and it turned out perfect. So yummy. Because I like a little more spicy I also added cayenne pepper powder (which I add to everything anyways 😊). Thank you for the recipe! 🙏 I’m now a subscriber! 👍🏼

    I just made and ate this recipe and needed to report back that it is DELICIOUS! Served it up with some rice and topped with slivered almonds for a little crunch.

  • @SenemUygur
    Great job. As another turk I can want to note that you can replace basil by fresh mint. And I never cook the onion, instead I use Green onions, but I will definetly try this version, too.
  • @hibertansiyar
    First of all, I really enjoyed your calm and non-talking video. I love that cutting and cooking are the main focus. Thank you. For the dish; I've never cooked the onions or chickpeas before making a piyaz but I guess this looks more delicious and better for my stomach. (I love onions but when it is fresh it is hard for my stomach). Additionally, I always thought of this dish as a side dish next to the mean course but if I do it like this, then I can even eat it as the main dish.

  • @ivorscrotumic3556
