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.

Set aside.  Slice each radish into discs, then cut them into inch-long sticks, similar in size and shape to the green beans.

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.

When they begin to sizzle and turn a more vivid green, add the radish.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

I loved Ms. Nancy’s cooking class so much.! I have been in this cooking class for two years and I would love to sign up for another one. I tried a lot of new foods like winter squash, cardamom, Brussels sprouts and kale. My favorite salad was the kiwi, carrot, radish salad.
Not only did we cook and eat, we also did labs about food. We used rulers to measure the size of plants. We also explored stone fruits and their ripe season. Now in my house we have window boxes and I am growing cherry tomatoes and basil.
I learned that we can use a lot of different tools to cook, not just our hands and senses. We used safety knives, potato peelers and a carrot sharpener (I wonder if you could sharpen a pencil with it?) !!!
Because of this class I can help papi make dinner and I will try any new food at least once to see if I like it. Thank you, Ms. Nancy for making cooking fun and interesting and helping me be excited about food.

- Love, K (a 7-year-old boy).
