Green beans with sherry and Romano
July 19, 2009 at 1:00 am | Tags: basil, cheese, dairy, green beans, sherry, stir-fry | 1 Comment
These green beans have no one dominant flavor. Rather, everything blends together — sherry, garlic, basil and Romano cheese. It simply tastes good.
The beans have a special, wrinkly texture from being fried — not pan-fried, but really fried, in lots of oil. I was inspired by this recipe for Chinese-style green beans on Rasa Malaysia.
Anyway, nothing Chinese here — freshly grated Romano cheese, which we bought on our last trip to Italy; a few spoonfuls of sherry from a vacation in Spain (it pains me to do anything but drink my good sherry, but really, you don’t need too much); and some freshly clipped basil from the plant on our patio, flowers and all.

Spring frittata with purple cauliflower and green beans
April 6, 2009 at 1:00 am | Tags: brunch, cauliflower, egg, green beans, herbs, omelet, parve, purple food | No Comments
I’m not entirely sure this merits a recipe, but it certainly merits a photo. So I might as well explain how I made it.
We’ve been buying purple vegetables since we discovered them at the Friday farmer’s market in the Tel Aviv port. They definitely liven up any meal. And yes, it seems the color of the cauliflower bled slightly onto the egg. Continue reading Spring frittata with purple cauliflower and green beans…
Fasoulyas (green beans)

When my mother talked about the foods of her childhood, this was always on the list, but for some reason, I never recall eating it at home. I got the general gist of it when we went to Greek restaurants and all my older relatives would coo over the green beans, however. Even though these green beans were soft and overcooked (some would say well cooked), much like the green beans I recall eating in Greece, I prefer to stir-fry mine for only a matter of minutes, so that they retain their crisp, crunchy texture and bright green color.

Green beans in soy sauce and sesame
November 23, 2008 at 12:32 pm | Tags: green beans, parve, sesame, stir-fry, vegan | 4 Comments
Here’s another simple dish — pan-fried green beans with soy sauce and sesame seeds. I used super-fresh green beans we’d bought earlier that day at the market, and seared them on high heat so they’d be slightly blistered on the outside but still crispy and bright green (when they’re so fresh, you don’t want to overcook them).
