green beans and pink radish

November 26, 2013 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

 In addition to being quick, this quick sauté is delicious and balanced, a prelude of the feasting to come, when Hanukkah and Thanksgiving intersect on Thursday.  Note: I will be traveling, so will be eating vegetables for breakfast out. Stay tuned.

Heat a cast iron or stainless steel skillet on a medium flame for about one minute.  Add the oil and let it heat up for about 20 seconds. Add the scallion and use cooking chopsticks to turn them until each side turns a soft golden brown. Add the green beans and allow them to be exposed to the heat on all sides.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

I’m very impressed by all the elements you are able to pack into the lesson without it seeming at all overwhelming: the review, the actual cooking skills, the creativity of coming up with their own dishes, the chance to present their creations, the opportunity to learn about and share thoughts on something else (in last week’s case, the feelings represented in the book), the execution of their  jobs, the responsibility for one’s station/implements and the overall following of directions…..all without losing the fun quotient. No wonder the kids love coming!  You’ve really created something special so kudos to you!
