Piyaz It comes from the Persian word for the onion, but in Turkish cuisine, he has taken on his own life. Today it refers to a salad of beans based on onions, parsley, olive oil and vinegar, spiced with pepper flakes and adorned with tomatoes, parsley, sumac and boiled slices. Regional variations abound: some add green onions, while in Antalya, Tahini gives Piyaz his turn.
