Oh my where did the time go?

So, sorry to have been away.  I started a new job in August and the time has just flow away from me.  Here is a yummy dish I made last week.  The chicken is left-overs from my braised chicken (more on that later).  The grains are from Trader Joe's
Harvest Grains (with Israeli Style Couscous, Orzo, Baby Garbanzo Beans and Red Quinoa.  This was  a quick disk to whip up.  The grains take 10 minutes and beans I just blanched in boiling water for 2 minutes.  This is one of my favorite type of dishes, quick, uses up leftovers and has minimal dishes.

Fresh is Best

The farm share is definitely slowing down, but last week more fresh green bean came. I had to wash them very well, but eating these was like being outside with a cool breeze kissing your check. I blanched them (cook in boiling water 3 minutes, then plunge in ice cold water immediately), then browned some red onion (I also like shallots) in olive oil, added the beans and some kosher salt. I ate most of them on the way to table with my hands (shhhhh don't tell the manner's police).
