notes

kate ten eyck shared this delicious sauce with me one day during our lunch break. I think I saw stars. I asked for the recipe, but had to make loads of substitutions, hence the [[spring-roll-cashew-sauce]] recipe, where I added a spicy twist.

2    cups    pork stock
1            quartered onion
1    30oz    can of diced tomatoes
1    cup     butter beans
2            cloves minced garlic
1            can green beans

instructions

• add [[pork-stock]] to a large stock pot
• add in all other ingredients
• simmer for an hour or more
• serve with a [[lunchroom-sandwich]], [[grilled-cheese]], or easter-biscuits
