I thought I'd try a screenshot since my iPad cut and paste on QVC gives me troubles. We had gyros today so thought I'd share. You can use lettuce, flatbread or pita.

Green Beans:

 

Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans
 
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2  teaspoons sesame oil 
1 pound fresh green beans, washed
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
 
Directions:
 
Warm a large skillet or wok over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, pour in canola and sesame oils, then place whole green beans into the skillet.  Stir the beans to coat with oil.

Cook until the beans are bright green and slightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes.
 
Remove from heat, and stir in soy sauce; cover, and let sit about 5 minutes.
 
Transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
 
To toast sesame seeds: Place the seeds in a dry skillet (don’t add oil!). Heat and stir over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until golden and fragrant.
 
Do not leave the stove because the seeds can burn very easily. 
 
 
Next Ingredient: Shrimp

 

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Rick Bayless recipe)

 
Servings: 4to 6
 
 
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 generous pound peeled and deveined smallish shrimp (I prefer ones that are about 41/50 count to a pound)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup clam juice 
  • 1/2 medium white onion, chopped into ¼ inch pieces, plus a little extra for garnish
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, thinly sliced, plus several sprigs for garnish
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons vinegary Mexican bottled hot sauce (like Tamazula, Valentina or Búfalo, the latter being on the sweet side)
  • About 2 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra virgin (optional but recommended to smooth out sharpness)
  • About 1 cup diced peeled cucumber or jícama (or ½ cup of each)
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
  • Salt
  • Tostadas, chips or saltine crackers for serving
INSTRUCTIONS

 

Bring 1 quart of heavily salted water to a boil.  Scoop in the shrimp, cover, and let the water return to the boil.  Immediately remove from the heat, set the lid askew and pour off all the liquid. Replace the cover and let the shrimp steam off the heat for a few minutes if they are not cooked as much as you would like.  Spread them out to cool completely or, for the crispest texture, immediately dunk the shrimp into an ice bath.

Into a medium bowl measure in all the ingredients.  Mix in the cooled shrimp.  Taste and season with salt if it needs it.  Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately.

Spoon the shrimp cocktail into sundae glasses, martini glasses or small bowls; garnish with a little chopped onion and cilantro.   Serve with tostadas, tortilla chips or saltines to enjoy alongside

TOFU and Mushroom Stroganoff

1 red onion, thinly sliced

2 red bell peppers, seeded and sliced

9 oz. mixed mushrooms, quartered or sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2/3 cup vegetable stock

2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons corn starch

1 cup sour cream

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan and reduce heat to medium.  Add the onions, pepper and mushrooms.  Cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes or until softened.  Stir in the garlic and cook one more minute.

 

 Stir in the stock, peanut butter and tomato paste.  Return the TOFU to the pan and bring to a simmer.  Cook to blend the flavors, about three minutes.

 

 Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into simmering liquid.  Cook about one minute until thickened.  Then stir in the sour cream; season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chives.  Serve over hot rice.

@walker @Thank you so much for the tofu recipe. It looks delicious and I have the ingredients on my shopping list for this week!

 

YIELD: 2 AS A MEAL, 4 AS A SIDE Brown Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms, Kale, and Almonds
Brown Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms, Kale, and Almonds

A wonderful brown rice pilaf with crimini mushrooms, baby kale, and roasted almonds made in one-pot! Vegan and gluten-free!

PREP TIME10 minutes
COOK TIME50 minutes
ADDITIONAL TIME10 minutes
TOTAL TIME1 hour10 minutes
 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)
  • 1 cup baby kale (I probably use closer to three for more nutrition 
  • salt and pepper 
  • Instructions
    1. In a large saucepan on medium-high heat, add olive oil, onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Stirring occasionally, allowing the ingredients to soften, about 2 minutes. Add in the rice and stir for an additional 2 minutes, coating the rice with the other ingredients.
    2. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for 40-45 minutes until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed.
    3. Remove from the heat, top the rice with baby kale, almonds, and lemon juice and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Gently stir together all the ingredients. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve immediately or warm.
     
     
    Notes

     

    • Different types of rice require different amounts of broth and cooking times. For example, brown rice tends to need more liquid and takes longer to cook than white rice.
