STEWED GREEN BEANS - SOUTH AFRICAN FARM RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and tail beans. Please note that you could use more; the quantity doesn't matter. If you're cooking for more than 4 people, use more beans and maybe 2 potatoes.
• Cut the beans cross-wise into rounds -- anything from thinly sliced to 1" long.
• Carry on until all the beans have been cut.
• Put in a pot, and slice the peeled potato and onion over the beans.
• Add about 1/3 cup water, sugar, white pepper and salt.(Yes, white pepper is the best here, but black pepper is fine). Don't mix: just put lid on and bring to boil, then lower heat and let simmer.
• Bring to the boil, lower heat, put lid on, and let the whole lot simmer until everything is very soft.
• Using one of those utensils (name?)which you use to mash any vegetable roughly, mash the beans, potato and onion, but don't try to beat it to a pulp -- there should be texture left (see photo's!).
• Usually there is a bit too much liquid left. Drain this off -- I use a sieve -- or you can boil it away over high heat, but be careful not to burn the veggies.
• Add a good knob of real butter, fork through, and sprinkle with nutmeg to serve.
• This simple dish can easily be made ahead and warmed up -- the flavour improves.
• Serve as a vegetable side dish.

ALBANIAN STEWED GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES WITH SMOKEY SEITAN

Steps:

• Heat a medium pot over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When hot enough, add the seitan and saute until golden on all sides about 4-5 minutes. Towards the end at the liquid smoke and Smoked Salt. Remove from pot and set aside.
• Now add about 2-3 tablespoons of Olive Oil to the pot. Add the onions and saute for a good 8 minutes until they are translucent and tender. If your pot has burned pieces from the seitan, deglaze it with a bit of vegetable broth. Add the garlic and saute for a minute until fragrant. Now it's time to add the green beans and potatoes. Saute the green beans and potatoes for about 5 minutes.
• Now add the tomato, paprika, oregano, chili flakes and season with salt and pepper. Saute for another two minutes. Add the vegetable broth or water and bring to a boil and then to a simmer. After a couple of minutes add the seitan that you have set aside. Simmer the stew for about 45-50 minutes until the green beans and potatoes are tender. If the stew starts to get dry simply add some more broth. Re-season with salt and pepper to taste if necessary. Remember to not go heavy on the salt because the Smokey Seitan is salt already from the smoked salt. Let the stew sit for 15 minutes or you can eat it has soon has it finished cooking.
• I like to serve these stewed green beans with some rice, bread, and a side salad or vegetable.
