Put some onion powder in your beans while they are cooking. That adds alot a flavor without calories
250g (9oz) green beans (I like the thin dwarf beans)


Sesame Dressing:


25g (1oz) white sesame seeds


1 tbsp good soy sauce (eg Kikkoman)


1 tbsp sake


1 tsp sugar


1. Clean green beans and cut into 1-inch (2-cm) lengths. Simmer in boiling water (or steam) until cooked to taste. Drain and cool.





2. Toast the sesame seeds in a hot dry frying pan until they start to pop. You want the colour to darken only very slightly. When they're ready, you should be able to smell them!





3. Grind the toasted sesame seed to a rough paste using a pestle and mortar, or in a blender. You don't want a complete puree; there should still be some texture to it. Stir in the soy sauce, sake and sugar.





4. When the beans are cool, arrange them attractively in one large or four individual dishes and drizzle the dressing on top.

150g (6oz, 1 cup) quinoa


250g (9oz) green beans (I like the thin dwarf beans)


2 cloves garlic


300ml (9fl oz, just over 1 cup) vegetable stock


1 x 400g (15oz) can chopped tomatoes


陆 cup (8 tbsp) fresh basil, chopped (optional)


1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice


salt and black pepper to taste


1. Wash the quinoa very well to remove the soapy-tasting substance in the outer coat. Clean the green beans and slice into 1-inch (2-cm) lengths. Chop the garlic finely.





2. Place quinoa and vegetable stock in a saucepan. Bring to boil, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Add green beans and tomatoes with their juice. Simmer 5 minutes more, covered, then add garlic and cook, covered, until beans and quinoa are soft, stirring occasionally.





3. Season to taste with basil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve hot or cold.
