UGH! It is raining outside. I know we need the rain but I am not a big fan of Rain! It can rain all night but during the day, NO! Of course it probably is okay today and anytime this month because it is a really good time to get baking some of the Christmas Cookies that I then give to friends. I can bake all the Biscotti ahead of time because they keep forever and are so yummy. I will be giving you those recipes in a little while. Today I have a recipe that my Grandmother used to make a lot. It was a mainstay when there really wasn't a lot of meat. Or she would make it with Chicken, or Pork chops or Sausage on the side. It is one of those wonderful comfort foods that can be a meal with a glass of Wine and some hot Italian bread and some good Cheese. I can eat it anytime. Try it as a side dish for your Family soon.
ITALIAN GREEN BEAN, TOMATO AND POTATO SALAD
4 large Russet Potatoes
1 medium Onion chopped
2 or 3 Roma tomatoes
1 lb fresh Italian Green Beans (they are the wide flat green beans)
(we always had them from the garden)
Boil the potatoes until just tender, remove from the water and set aside to cool. Cook the green beans until tender (if you can't find them fresh they are available canned). Drain and let them cool. When all the veggies are cool, cut the potatoes into large chunks, put into a bowl with the cooled beans and the onions (that have been thinly sliced) and the tomatoes that have have been cut into quarters. Make a dressing of 3 to one olive oil and vinegar (3 olive oil, 1 vinegar). Add salt and pepper to taste, and toss gently. Let this marinate in the refrigerator for about 1/2 hour to an hour. Toss gently before serving.
This will serve 6 people.
Try it soon. It will give you a different spin on Potatoes and Green Beans.
That's it for today, thanks for stopping in
Ciao
