Here's the Sauce Recipe:
6 or 7 Sun Dried Tomatoes (About 1/4 C)
About 8 or 9 Black Olives (About 1/4 C)
Splash of Grapeseed Oil
2 Cloves of Garlic
1/4 tea Oregano
Of course I added about 2 Cups of Green Beans and a small handful of Pine Nuts to this and threw in a few sprinkles of Wildtree's California Garlic Pepper.
This was quite good as a side dish in its own right but I wanted to make it more of a meal and take it for lunch!
I cooked up some Brown Rice and mixed it all together! It made a wonderful flavor combo!
I'm very excited about this sauce! I would have never thought about using the Olives and Sun-Dried Tomatoes as a base for it!
I have to give a 'thumbs up' to the Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen Cookbook for the original idea on the sauce! But...you know me...I don't follow recipes from start to finish so this was tweaked a bit! Tasty, regardless!
Long beans? Just boil and eat, very sweet...or fry with garlic, add salt according to taste - very nice already...provided the beans are not too old. They do sell those here...unfortunately, must be able to tell.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed! They are very good as-is! I'm a fan!
DeleteOh that looks great, I mainly eat them plain but this is a nice alternative too. We love olives! When my daughter was younger she'd go through a jar in a few days. I made sure I always had them on hand.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I mainly eat them plain, too, but I was really interested to see how this sauce was going to be with them!
DeleteWith Olives - I tend to go in spurts - sometimes I find them a bit too salty - and they are hard to find REALLY fresh where I am.
This looks wonderful, I've never used olives in a sauce before, but what a great alternative to oil!
ReplyDeleteIt provided a nice saltiness as well!
DeleteHmmm, I'm not a fan of olives, but this actually sounds pretty tasty (and simple to throw together!)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it tastes like olives, per say, but it's a taste of it's own :)
