Sunny Anderson's Blackberry Ginger Green Beans

Ingredients:

1/4 cup almond slivers

2 tablespoons olive oil 

1 pound fresh green beans, thinly sliced on the bias 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

1/2 cup blackberry preserves 

2 teaspoons soy sauce 

1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger (or grated on a rasp)

1 clove garlic, finely minced or grated on a rasp 

Directions:

1. In a large dry pan on medium heat, add the almonds and constantly toss until they become shiny and slightly golden. Remove to a plate to cool.
2. In the same large pan on medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil begins to swirl, add the green beans, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss to coat while cooking until bright green, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the preserves, soy sauce, ginger and garlic to the pan. Toss to coat and cook until the sauce has soaked into the green beans. Serve with a sprinkle of the toasted almonds.

Horseradish and Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes

by Tyler Florence from Food Network website

4 pounds creamer potatoes (I use Russets or Yukon Gold.)

2 bay leaves

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 cups sour cream

1 stick unsalted butter

1 cup fresh horseradish, grated, or 3 Tbsps. prepared horseradish

chopped fresh chives for garnish.

Boil potatoes in enough water with the bay leaves to cover them well.  When soft, drain and return them to the pot  adding the sour cream and butter gradually and  mixing well.  Blend in the horseradish.  Garnish with chopped chives.

Note:  When fresh horseradish is available you can wrap it and keep it in your freezer (same as fresh ginger root) and just peel and grate what you need for a particular recipe.

NEXT INGREDIENT:  MAYONNAISE
