Sweet + Sour Radish Pods + Black Beans

I let my radishes grow very tall + go to seed because the guinea pigs love the leaves more than I love the radishes! To my delight the flowers turned to pods, which I ended up googling + discovering were edible! This is the first thing I created with them + it is delicious! You could do the same with mange tout or any kind of podded vegetable.

Ingredients:

• 200g c200g radish pods (or mange tout/sugar snap peas)

• 2 tbs sesame oil (not toasted because you are going to cook it)

• 1 can of black beans (drained + rinsed)

• 1 tbs tamari

• 1 tsp maple syrup

• 1 tbs toasted sesame seeds

• Cooked brown rice to serve (if you choose)
  

Method:

1. Prepare the sesame seeds by lightly toasting in a dry frying pan.

2. Remove the sharp ends of the pods with a knife, but leave them whole.

3. Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan, and fry the pods until they soften (this will be different timings depending on what kind of pod you are using).

4. Add the tamari + cook for 1 minute.

5. Add in the black beans (you can add in more than one can if you want to make more of a meal out of it).

6. Mix through the maple syrup and toss through the toasted sesame seeds.

7. Add sea salt to taste.

8. Serve with brown rice.

9. Enjoy!
