Reproduced by permission of HPBooks, The Penguin Group (USA) Inc. Piquant sun-dried tomatoes and tangy kalamata olives give green beans a welcome lift in this delicious side dish, perfect for serving on a dreary winter’s day. The versatile sauce is more of an uncooked paste, and can be used to perk up other vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini, and boiled new potatoes, as well as pasta, rice, and couscous. Makes 6 servings 1/4 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped, 1 Tablespoon oil reserved 1/4 cup pitted black olives, preferably kalamata, finely chopped 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 3/4 pounds green beans, trimmed to yield 1-1/2 pounds 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds or pine nuts (optional) Place the tomatoes and their reserved oil, olives, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl; stir well to combine. Set aside. Bring a large stockpot filled with salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the beans and cook until tender but still slightly crisp, about 7 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a warm shallow serving bowl. Add the olive mixture, tossing well to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with the almonds or pine nuts, if desired. Advance Preparation The sun-dried tomato-olive sauce can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator several days before using.

Let's face it, though – peeling and chopping 2 pounds of carrots is a lot of work. I was pleased with the brainstorm of tossing two bags of organic baby carrots (which are usually very sweet) into a soup pot and even more pleased with how well the idea works. Make sure to use the carrots while still fresh; once they start drying out, the results aren't as good. Using an immersion blender makes the preparation a breeze. 6 servings 2 Tablespoons light olive oil 1 cup chopped onion Two 16-ounce bags baby carrots 1 vegetable bouillon cube 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon good-quality curry powder 1-1/2 cups rice or soy milk Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1-1/2 cups frozen green peas, warmed Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the carrots and just enough water to not quite cover. Bring to a simmer, then add the bouillon cube, bay leaves, paprika, and curry powder. Cover and simmer gently until the carrots are tinder, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. If using a food processor, purée the solid ingredients until smoothly puréed, then return to the pot, and stir into the liquid. If using an immersion blender, simply immerse into the pot and process until smoothly puréed. Stir in enough milk to give the soup a slightly thick consistency. Season with salt and pepper and serve, or cover and let stand off the heat for 1 hour or so before serving, then heat through. Scatter some green peas over the top of each serving.
