End of August Veggie Indulgence

 

I just invented this a few days ago, it is fabulous. All the

taste comes from the veggies

themselves, so try organic for this one (I know they can be

expensive).

 

Cut some potatoes into 3/4 " cubes. If they are new or

" new-ish " you don't need to peel them

first, just scrub them well. Put into a pot of boiling

water.

 

Now, while the potatoes are boiling, cut up some fresh green

beans. Cut the very tips off either

end, then cut into thirds. When the potatoes seem to be

nearly done, dump the green beans in to

the same water as the potatoes, and continue boiling them

together.

 

Meanwhile, chop up some tomatoes. Put them in a big bowl.

When the potatoes and green beans

are done, drain them and plunk them in the same bowl as the

tomatoes. Add pesto sauce on top

and stir around. As the potatoes and green beans will still

be warm, they will warm up the

tomatoes and pesto nicely. Depending on your pesto, taste it

first, you might want to add a bit of

fresh-ground pepper. Serve it still warm, or room

temperature. Absolute heaven!

 

P.S. Next morning I took about 1/2 cup of the leftovers and

cooked them in scrambled eggs

(kitchen klutzes don't do omelets).
