Sesame Green Beans and Asparagus
1 package (roughly 2 cups) of green beans, trimmed
1 bunch of asparagus
1/8 cup sesame seeds, toasted
Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp minced ginger
Juice of 1/2 a tangerine or small orange
2 tsp sesame oil
1. Peel asparagus on about 2/3 of the sides (it is easiest if it is flat on the board). Cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Set aside.
2. Chop green beans in half. Add to asparagus.
3. Mix all marinade ingredients and toss it with the veggies. Let sit for an hour or two.
4. Cook everything (including juice) in a skillet on medium-high heat for 10 minutes. At the end, add the sesame seeds. When well combined, serve.
Soy-Citrus Marinated Cod
Cod * I used 3/4 lb of cod to serve 2 people
Basil, scallions and cilantro (just a handful)
Brown rice
Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp minced ginger
Juice of 1/2 a tangerine or small orange
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 tsp honey
1 tsp sesame oil
1. Line a baking dish with tin foil. Place fish onto the foil.
2. Mix marinade and pour atop fish, reserving about two tablespoons. Let sit for up to one hour on the counter, covered, warming it up to room temperature.
3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pop fish into the oven for about 4 minutes, until top is lightly browning.
4. Lower temperature to about 350 and cook for 10 minutes or until fish is no longer translucent.
5. Top rice with chiffonade of basil, scallions and cilantro. Place cod atop rice. Spoon the remaining juices over the rice.
Jack and I just about licked our plates clean. This was a three course meal initially, but after a disastrous try at special macaroons, I think I'll just leave it at that.
