One of the things I missed most while I was gone was cooking at home. Restaurants are fine but there's nothing like making a mess in the kitchen while creating something wonderful.
First meal back was a meal of tapas, our favorite.
In this week's farm share basket, we received green beans. I love green beans with new red potatoes and a chunk of ham simmering away for hours. But the hubby is not a fan.
So I made french fries. French fried green beans that is.
I blanched the green beans in broth for about 15 minutes. Then did a standard breading process of flour, egg wash and then bread crumbs, panko of course.
A quick minute in the deep fryer and out comes crunchy gorgeous green beans. I made a spicy wasabi dip to accompany. They were a hit.
With the "french fries", I also baked a baguette and mixed goat cheese with fig jam for a spread. And paired softened French brie with cinnamon raisin bagel chips.
Good eats.

thanks for stopping by my blog! :-) Let me know how you like my chicken salad if you decide to make it. My great grandfather used to make fried green beans. He would fry them to a crisp in about an inch of bacon grease. I miss them. Your tapas looks lovely.
I made it and we loved it! Who knew Cool whip could make a salad dressing?
