The forgotten Bean

I have been so obsessed with the Lentil kinda bean that I totally forgot about FRESH beans. I had remembered to buy some a week ago at the Farmers and I sighted them when scanning the fridge. Ideas started to flow and I got going:
Fresh beans finely chopped
Red/green Capsicum/chilli finely chopped
Frozen peas
Rice bran oil
Half a can of SPC chickpeas, but this can be subsituted with boiled chickpeas and a dash of tomato paste or Salsa
Coriander powder
Black soy suace
Salt

This was stir fried just enough for the vegetables to retain a semi cooked/crispy state.

A Minty Affair

Now this was on the spur, hey I have some mint leaves about to go, lets do something with it kinda moment !! The Ingredients:
A bunch of mint leaves
Cauliflower
Capsicum
Frozen cornGreen Chillies
A good squeeze of Tomato Paste
Some Garam Masala, Salt, cumin powder
Sesame Oil
A Cup of quick cooking brown rice
Boiling water

I just put this in a pot and let it simmer for 20 mins. What came out of it was sheer brilliance !!

Green ahoy! 3

Any mention of Green in food would be incomplete without the Italian behemoth, PESTO !!! That's right and the classic ingredients are tough to beat:

Bunch of Basil leaves
Pinenuts
Dash of Garlic
and then ...BLEND BABY BLEND !!

After that, throw in quite a bit of Olive oil in a pan and stir-fry/simmer the concoction to suit taste then add the pasta (on this occasion, it was Spirals!)

I also threw in some Feta to liven it up and that mission was achieved.

And that concludes a trip down the GREEN lane !! Other ingredients that would contribute to Greenery are:
Leaves/Herbs/Shallots of any kind: Mint, coriander, parsley, Garlic shallots and so on
Green Veg: Broccoli, Capsicum, Beans, Chillies etc
