Warm Cabbage and Green Beans

Published at 03/21/2016June 22, 2016 In Category Blog, Cabbage, green beans, Recipes, Vegetables Tags: cabbage, green beans

This dish is a more complicated. It’s adapted from a recipe by Marcus Samuelsson, the Ethiopian-born chef who grew up in Sweden. This is definitely from the Ethiopian side of his heritage. This recipe ran about 2 years ago in the New York Times. Injera is available at the DeKalb Farmers Market. I’ve tried making my own – total failure! This is one time that store bought definitely trumps homemade.

Potato and Green Bean Salad

Today’s box held the first potatoes of the season – always a big hit in our household. With the green beans, tomatoes, zephyr squash and cucumber, it totally looks like summer now in my kitchen.

This recipe is adapted from “Herbivoracious” by Michael Natkin. Got basil pesto on hand, or some other version? Use that.

Turkish-Style Braised Green Beans

And I’ve been waiting to try this recipe that appeared in early August in the New York Times. So glad to see green beans in our box today.

Yes, you can lightly steam your green beans, but sometimes what you really want is a dish of beans that’s been slowly braised with wonderful aromatic companions. I grew up with a dish like this, served over rice pilaf. My mom added cubes of browned beef, but otherwise, this is pretty much her recipe.

Okra, Green Bean and Seafood Stew

Published at 09/10/2015July 28, 2016 In Category green beans, Okra, Recipes, Vegetables Tags: green beans, okra

This recipe for okra stew is adapted from one in Saveur magazine and is from Senegal. They credit it as a predecessor of Louisiana-style gumbo which makes sense to me, given how much of our Southern cuisine comes from African culture and the cooking of slaves. It takes a good while to cook, which is absolutely typical of West Africa food, but is well worth it. In Senegal, this would be made with eggplant, but I’m substituting the green beans from this week’s box.
