I just got off the phone with the lifestyles editor of my local paper.
Seems a recipe I submitted to the annual recipe contest was selected
as a finalist! Hurray! And, get this, it is a fat-free recipe!
Well, at least I think it is. I still don’t know if black bean paste
has no fat added to it.

The cookoff is next Thursday (Oct 21). I cannot remember if I ever
posted this recipe before, but it is really good so I’ll post it
again:

Green Beans in Black Bean Sauce

1 lb fresh green beans
2 Tbsp black bean paste
2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/4 cup cold water
1 Tbsp corn starch

Wash green beans and trim into bite sized pieces. Steam or microwave
with a little water until just tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold
water to stop cooking.

Mix together the black bean paste, soy sauce, water and corn starch until
very smooth.

Heat a wok or large saucepan to medium high. Add some water and the cooked
beans. When beans are heated (about 2 minutes) add the sauce. Stir
constantly to coat the beans (sauce will get very thick). Serve immediately
over hot cooked rice.

This sauce and cooking process can be used with just about any vegetable
you like. My hubby loves this recipe when made with asparagus, but last
time I checked asparagus was $3.99/lb (OUCH!).

The following is a modification of Tina’s rye pancakes with a
different flavor focus as well. These pancakes are almost good enough
to eat alone but still taste better with a sweet topping such as
Tina’s Sweet Potato/Apples or perhaps even plain apple sauce.
I made and ate a whole batch of these by myself last night. Yum.
(Thanks, tina, for the ideas.)

Vegetable Rye Pancakes
for two

1/2 Cup rye flour
1/4 Cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2-3 TBSP finely chopped red bell pepper
2-3 TBSP finely chopped carmelized onions
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 Cup Soy or rice milk (I used Edensoy Vannila. I’ve also used
Rice Dream)
1/4 Cup water

(Carmelize onions using your favorite method – mine is with balsamic
vinegar – I prepare a big batch at the beginning of the week and use
it throughout the week.)

In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix in the liquid. Let
the batter stand for a few minutes. While batter stands, heat up a
skillet/griddle. Use your favorite low fat greasing technique (I use
a stick of butter which I rub lightly over the hot griddle. A single
stick can last for months this way.)

Heat the skillet over medium flame. Pour the batter onto the
griddle to form 4 pancakes. The batter is very thick but should pour
well. The pancakes should be around 4-6″ wide and around 1/2″ thick
when done. Use a spoon or fork to spread pancake mix, if necessary.
Once the pancake has browned on bottom, turn over and reduce heat to
low. Keep on griddle for as long as you like (till bottom has lightly
browned) then turn up heat again for another minute.

Remove pancakes serve with a sweet fruit sauce or try it by itself.
The pancakes will have a crisp crust and a chewy inside. Yum.

NOTE: If you like corn these pancakes would be really great with
whole kernels added as well…
