We had lots of green beans thanks to the nice people at Layman Farms Delivery and I wanted to move beyond roasted and steamed to something different. So I reached back into my high school cook book mania (how better to stave off the hunger of making weight for wrestling?) and dusted off a memory of vegetarian pate.
2 pints of green beans with ends laziliy cut off.
1 cup of lentils
3 cloves of garlic (more would be ok, but I was cooking for a wide audience)
Splash of cider vineagar
Salt & Pepper
Sami's chip
Cook lentils in water with vegetarian soup base.
Steam a pint beans on top of the lentils. When beans are verdant and taste good (better early than late, they continue to cook) throw them in the cuisinart with lentils.
Realize you have more beans. Trim and steam them until appropriately done. Wonder at how quickly water boils with a gas range. Congratulate oneself on a wise home purchase.
Add beans to cuisinart and start 'er up.
Add garlic, salt, pepper, cider.
Have wife taste it. Listen to her suggestion that garlic could be toned down for wider consumption.
Add Sami's chip (any binding agent would work--crackers, stale bread) to thicken.
Fridgetate for a day for optimum consistency.
Could include hot sauce or other pepper product (see garlic above).
