- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Hot water
Cranberry Beans:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 onion, sliced
- 3 slices sucuk, diced, or any cured meat such as chorizo, salchica, or pepperoni. Use halloumi and garlic if vegetarian.
- Half sweet red pepper, sliced
- 2 green peppers, sliced

- 220 g canned cranberry beans, 400 g with aquafaba, any kind of beans would do great like red beans or cannellini beans

Instructions
- To make vermicelli pilaf, heat the butter and olive oil in a pan.
- Add the vermicelli and continuously stir to brown it evenly. You can also add a handful of nuts (peanut, for example) if you want to. Vermicelli should turn into a nice golden brown but watch it not burn.
- Season with the salt and pour boiling water up to the level of the vermicelli and cover with a lid. Lower the heat and simmer for 2,5-3 minutes until the water is soaked.
- For the cranberry bean, heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan on high heat and add the onion.
- Then add the sucuk, and sauté them nicely.
- Add red and green peppers. Stir and add red pepper paste to enrich the flavor. Mash the paste with a spatula and stir.
- Finally, add the canned cranberry beans with aquafaba and stir it well. Boil for a minute, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the pilaf to the sides of a large dish, making a hole in the middle. Pour the cooked beans into the center of the dish.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves, sprinkle some sesame seeds and add some yogurt and it's ready to eat and be amazed!
