I am sorry for not posting yesterday. It was a very special day for me (I got older!) and I wanted to take the day off and have a little fun. One of the ways I did that was to find another farmers market in my area. This (to the right) was my bounty! Local, fresh vegetables. I have been finding that the "farmers markets" are in need of more farmers and variety. Sometimes there will be three vendors all selling the same thing. I find it quite frustrating. None the less, I got some green beans and peppers. The peppers are for next week, but the green beans I used tonight!
When it comes to summer, there are two foods I really enjoy, strawberries and green beans. I love fresh green beans! I love to just wash them off and nibble on them. I could practically have them for a whole snack that way! But I had to prepare them to meet my goal tonight.
I was able to get Chef Turbo to help me snap the ends. He seemed to have a lot of fun when he figured it out. I guess I take snapping green beans for granted since he had a hard time with it for a while. I still had to go back into the discard pile to rescue usable ends.
DISH RESULT:
I really enjoyed it. It was refreshing, had no form of fat (except the turkey bacon fat, which was not really there at all!) and the parsley was a nice touch. It called for an onion, so I used a shallot. And I ate it without gagging! So happy. It also called for bacon, and as I mentioned before, I used Turkey Bacon. I really prefer going with the healthier alternative and the lack of animal fat in the pan did not mess the dish up one bit.
Can we call it "turbacon"?
ReplyDeleteNO. It's Turkey Bacon. Silly.
