Grandmother's Hungarian Pan-Fried Beans Pilaf

Assemble the ingredients: beans, bell pepper, carrot, paprika, garlic, olive oil, yogurt.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beans and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Hungarian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Hungarian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
