Lively Greens


Dice leeks and wash under water because it's very easy for dirt to crevice itself in between the layers. Saute in a hot pan alone for 5 minutes with olive oil to break down.


Even though this dish is intended as a side, it's very simple to transform it into a main dish by adding protein through ingredients such as tofu or crumbled feta.
Be wary of the green beans in your local market because lately they have been a disappointment to say the least. Choose a store that is known to have acceptable produce and purchase the green beans that easily snap in half. The strong texture stands up well in this recipe. I don't know about you, but I'm not a big fan of over cooked green beans.


Saute the 1 inch cut beans and dill with the already cooked leaks. I tested a few until I was satisfied with the crunchy bite of the bean with the soft leaks. Once done, take off the pan and crumble feta cheese. If you choose to add tofu, saute in the pan when adding the green beans and add a splash of soy sauce!
