GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat combine potatoes, green beans, thyme, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and 3/4 cup of broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• In a small bowl blend remaining broth and cornstarch. Stir in parsley; add to potato mixture. Cook, stirring, until bubbly and thickened.

PROVENCAL COD, POTATOES AND STRING BEANS

Steps:

• Put a rimmed baking sheet in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Combine the potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence in a large bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the beans, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven; add the potatoes in a single layer on one side of the pan and the beans on the other side. Roast until the potatoes are browned and the beans are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, olives, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl; set aside. Season the cod all over with salt.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Separately stir the potatoes and beans with a spatula and push to the sides of the pan, leaving a space in the middle. Place the cod in the middle of the pan and top with half of the tomato mixture. Roast until the cod is opaque, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle the potatoes with parsley. Serve with the remaining tomato mixture.

• Add the beans and potatoes.
• Cover with water. Bring to a boil.

STRING BEAN AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and the garlic in a pot of well-salted water, to cover, and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Cook until they are "fork" tender, about 20 minutes. When the potatoes are tender all the way through, remove them from the water and when they are cool enough to handle, but still hot, carefully cut the potatoes in half. Try not to pull the skins off. Chop the garlic and add it along with 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil, and season with salt, to taste. It is important to do this while the potatoes are still warm so they will absorb the vinegar and oil and be seasoned all the way through.
• While the potatoes are cooking, bring another pot of well-salted water to a boil, over medium heat. Set up a bowl of ice water and season it generously with salt. Add the beans to the boiling water and cook them until they are tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Bite a bean to be sure they are properly cooked. When the beans are cooked, put them immediately in the bowl of salted ice water to stop the cooking or to "shock" them. When they are cold, remove them from the water and let them dry a little. Cut them in half.
• In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, beans, olives, oregano and scallions and crushed red pepper. Stir to combine well, taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Add the remaining oil and vinegar, if needed.
• This salad is good now, but will be better if you let it sit for at least 1 hour. Enough time to transport it to the game!
