Miso mix


A delicious and easy vegetable dish.

Daikon radish, green beans.

Corn and Kintoki red beans.

L.O. carrot, spinach and bell pepper.

Miso as flavoring.

That’s ready.

Served. Oh what’s missing ?

A few leaves of shiso maybe.

A Spring minestrone with nira

Some dishes follow you around the years :

a Winter minestrone with mizuna and pancetta

But as the seasons turn, ingredients vary.

Spring ingredients, quickly simmered : kintoki beans and their broth, new potatoes boiled with their skin, celery, green beans, bell pepper, pasted garlic, black pepper.


Taisho Kintoki beans

Nira (garlic chives) cut finely, with olive oil and salt to make a green gremolata.

The veggies…

…the garlicky broth…

…the nira gremolata.

Say chiizz sauce

Inspired by Nori Croquante. Well, that’s very far from what she served here:
curieux légumes faux-magés but you can see the relation.

My local random little salad : konnyaku (in white), green beans, okra, sudachi lemon and cilantro.

Mmmm, that’s the less worse photo… The idea is the sauce that gets a cheese-like texture. It’s a combination of okra and vegetal milk (here coconut + coconut cream). Add a pinch of salt. Pour on the veggies.

That’s so pleasantly refreshing, the white color plus the texture.
Merci pour l’idée !

They have many more centenarian and they stay in great health longer. Some research has found that people in their 80's and more had their body, including DNA telomere as if they were in their early 50's. And that would be due exclusively to lifestyle.
