Piyaz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Piyaz is a kind of Turkish salad or meze that is made from any kind of dry beans with hard-boiled egg and vegetables. In Antalya region of Turkey it is prepared differently from other regions with other ingredients like sesame oil. In Antalya, piyaz is not considered a salad but a main dish itself. In southern provinces like Adana, the word piyaz is used to refer to an onion and sumac salad. In fact, the word piyaz comes from pivas, Persian for onion.
