Great Green Beans

Ingredients

• 2 lbs of fresh green beans (serves 4)

• 1 onion chopped finely

• 1 Tablespoon butter

• salt

• pepper

• nutmeg

Directions

1. Cut the tips off both ends of the grean beans and rinse them thoroughly.

2. Bring enough water to a boil in a large pot such that you could cover the green beans. Boil the green beans until they are al dente, which usually takes around ten minutes of cooking. Drain into a colander, and rinse under cold tap water.

3. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and stir for a minute or two until the onion begins to become transparent. Add the green beans back into the pot.

4. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste, stir once or twice and let it simmer uncovered for 10 more minutes.

5. Serve hot and enjoy!

Cook’s Notes

• Did you know? Rinsing the green beans under cold water immediately after boiling makes them keep their nice green color? Yumm!

Edamame: Planet Friendly Protein, Tasty and Nutrious

Edamame (eh-dah-mah-may) is a tasty snack food from Asia that has become a popular appetizer at Japanese restaurants here in the west. Often called green vegetable soybeans, they are a special variety harvested when still immature and green.

Served in the pod at restaurants, frozen shelled edamame are now widely available at supermarkets and Trader Joe’s, as well as in health food stores. Possibly be the worlds oldest snack food, going back well over a thousand years, edamame could very well be the healthiest, too.

Edamame has a lot going for it. Great taste, ease of preparation and excellent nutrition make it a delightful snack, not only in restaurants but in kitchens across America. Try adding shelled edamame to your favorite stir-fry, pasta dish, soup or stew in place of any other bean.

Like the more mature soybean, edamame contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein equal in quality to meat, dairy products, and eggs. Edamame is rich in calcium, iron, zinc, and many B vitamins.  And like all plant based foods, choosing edamame over animal protein is as good for the planet as it is for you! Choose organic foods whenever possible.
