Guest guest Report post Posted May 20, 2004 Hi! You would have been most welcome, gf! I don´t think parsnip might do... the flavor is too different. If you can find cassava it will be perfect. A recipe for kale and beans ? These are things we learn with Mom, you know ... let me try. It is like this: KALE 1 bunch of kale 1 or 2 minced garlic cloves. 1 medium onion cut in thin half-moons 1 cup Italian parsley - minced 1 cup spring onion - minced Cut a bunch of kale very thinly. Cut lots of parsley and lots of spring onions very thinly. Mix kale and parsley and spring onions and put in a colander and pour boiling water over that. Cook onion and garlic clove in olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add kale and salt. Mix till it wilts. BEANS 2 cups dried beans 1 bay leaf 1 or 2 minced garlic cloves. 1 medium onion cut in thin half-moons Tabasco to taste Soak beans overnight. Discard soaking water. Cook with bay leaf till tender - we use a pressure cooker and this takes about 15 minutes. Cook onion and garlic clove in olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add beans, salt and Tabasco. Cover and bring to boil. Let simmer for a few minutes, to blend flavor. CASSAVA or PERUVIAN CARROT 1 pound cassava 1 or 2 minced garlic cloves. 1 medium onion cut in thin half-moons 1/x cup Italian parsley - minced Tabasco to taste Cut cassava in big chunks and cook in salted water till almost tender. Cook onion and garlic clove in olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add cassava, salt and Tabasco. Cover and bring to boil. Let simmer for a few minutes, to blend flavors. Sprinkle with minced parsley. Bon apetit! Mirian / Brazil greenfury2004 <greenfury2004 wrote: Sounds great :=) I don't suppose you have a recipe for that kale and beans = and peruvian carrot dish, do you? Of course, it's a bit tricky if you don't= know where to buy such a carrot, but perhaps parsnip might do? Anyway, it sounds very good - anything else in the dish besides the items y= ou mention? I very nearly took wing and flew to join you! gf Mirian M. Costa, tradutora Tels. (11) 5531-9153, (19) 3871-5152 Cel.
