Baked green beans with olives

Years ago I baked on Tuesday with Kayte, Margaret, Nancy and Peggy through Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home to Yours *. With Kayte I was in loose email contact all over the years and this year it was really close to meet Kayte in person, but, you know what happened. Now those Ladies decided to found a new group, Good Friends Good Food, just to cook „together“ in our kitchens, miles and miles apart. Just for fun, chatting, to enjoy cooking together. I liked the idea, so I joined the group; every fortnight we cook with the same ingredient and see what each made of it. This week we cook with green beans.

I have so many underused cookbooks in my shelf, a good occasion to flip through River Cottage Much More Veg. I decided to prepare

It sounded uncomplicated, throw everthing together and bake it in the oven. Unfortunately we had to wait 30 minutes longer than the book said. The wait was worth it, a real delicious meal.

See what Donna, Kayte, Margaret, Nancy and Peggy made with green beans.

WHB #74: Potato hummus with beans and lamb chops

Rosemary

Becky from Key Lime and Coconut is hosting the span style=“ font-weight: bold;“>Weekend Herb Blogging 27.04.2021 **

. Don’t miss the recap on her site.

Rosemary 004Like Kalyn I used tahini for my dish and rosemary, the only herb, that grows without any problems in my garden. As a child I didn’t like rosemary, because they reminds me of fir needles, so do my sons. That’s the reason I always chop the needles and the whole family is pleased.
