Whats on my Cookbook Stand? (Part 02)

French beans with sesame and ginger from the Cook Yourself Thin cook book

Last nights Cook Yourself Thin demonstrated this dish (for the recipe click here), encouraging the viewers that if they eat more veg they’ll drop that dress size and the best way to do it was to cook flavoursome dishes like this one. I’m, like I suspect a lot of people, not that keen on veg, I like salad and certain meditarrean vegetables and that’s about it, so I was very pleased when I tried out this dish, that considering I don’t really like french beans, this dish was really delicious! The method for cooking the french beans leaves them still really fresh and crunchy and the combination of the soy sauce, sesame and ginger, flavours them really nicely, so as a whole you just get really just the pleasant taste of the sesame rather than anything else and sesame seeds are good for you to! It’s easy to cook to, specially as I cheated a bit and used pickled, ready prepared ginger.

I cooked this for my kids, also confirmed veg haters and unfortunately they took one look at it (without even trying it) and proclaimed they didn’t like it, however I’m not giving up and will definitely be cooking this dish again and again.
