NANA'S YELLOW (WAX) STRING BEANS
My Polish grandmother never used recipes. This so simple dish was the most difficult to duplicate because of it's simplicity. There are versions of this in Polish cookbooks using bread crumbs but they lacked the slightly sweet, butter baked flavor of cracker crumbs that accent the mild taste of the yellow beans. I haven't posted this recipe before because it sounds "too simple" but it's one of my most favorite!

SOFFRITTO
Soffritto is a combination of sautéed onions, celery, and carrots, and it is the base of much Italian cooking. We start many of our dishes by sautéing these ingredients, and then we have this, a very dark soffritto, that we cook for four hours, after which the vegetables are transformed into a rich, thick paste. We make the soffritto in big batches and use it as a starting point for many of our ragùs, such as the duck ragù (see Gnocchi with Duck Ragù, page 187), the wild boar ragù (see Maltagliati with Wild Boar Ragù, page 185), and the ragù bolognese (see Garganelli with Ragù Bolognese, page 189). We also use it to make a rich contorni-Yellow Wax Beans Stracotto in Soffritto with Salsa Verde (page 260)-that we serve in the Osteria. This soffritto might seem oily, but don't let that scare you as it's used to start dishes where olive oil would normally be used. At the restaurant, we chop the carrots and celery in a food processor, but we chop the onions by hand to avoid their becoming a watery purée.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender and translucent. Add the carrots and celery, reduce the heat to medium, and cook the vegetables, stirring often, for about 3 hours, until the soffritto is a deep brown caramel color and the vegetables are almost melted. If the vegetables start to sizzle and stick to the bottom of the pot, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking. Use the soffritto or let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to several months.
STRACOTTO
A Tuscan family favourite: think the emotion of Bolognese on the familiarity scale, but with a whole new level of comfort. It's inspired by Nonna Miriam from Panzano, and this simple cooking process gives you what she calls a 'rich plate'--she likened it to the moment you know you've got a winning hand in poker. To serve, it's traditional to enjoy the rich sauce with freshly cooked tagliatelle as a primo, serving the rest of the sauce with the meat as a secondo, teamed with steamed greens, oozy polenta, mash or whatever you fancy!

Steps:
- Place the meat in a fairly snug-fitting casserole pan on a medium-low heat with 2 tablespoons of oil, turning with tongs, while you peel the onions, carrots and garlic, trim the celery and fennel, then roughly chop it all to make a soffritto--it cooks low and slow so there's no need to be too precise. Stir into the pan, tie the rosemary and sage together and add, then season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until starting to caramelize, stirring the veg and turning the meat occasionally.
- Turn the heat up to high, pour in the wine, stir in the tomato puree, and let the wine cook away. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then place a double layer of scrunched-up wet parchment paper on the surface. Reduce to a low heat and cook for around 3 hours, or until the meat is meltingly tender, turning and basting occasionally. Season to perfection.
- Lift the meat out on to a board, carve it into thin slices, and spoon over enough of that incredible sauce to keep the meat nice and juicy. Toss the rest of the sauce (reduce on the stove, if needed) with freshly cooked tagliatelle, and finely grate over a little Parmesan, to serve. Double win.
YELLOW WAX BEANS STRACOTTO IN SOFFRITTO WITH SALSA VERDE
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until it is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beans, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and cook for about 2 minutes, until they are slightly browned. Move the beans to create a bare spot in the pan, add the tomato paste to that spot, and cook for 1 minute, stirring, to caramelize. Add the Soffritto and anchovies, and stir to combine the ingredients and to coat the beans with the Soffritto. Reduce the heat to low, season the beans with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of water to the pan, and simmer the beans until they are very tender, about 20 minutes for wax beans and 30 minutes for Romano beans. If there is still water in the pan, remove the lid, increase the heat to high, and cook until the water evaporates. Serve the beans warm or at room temperature. Transfer the beans to a serving dish, spoon 1/4 cup of salsa verde over them, and serve with the remaining salsa verde on the side.

- Combine the anchovies, capers, garlic, salt, and half of the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade or the jar of a blender. Add half of the parsley, mint, and marjoram leaves and pulse until the herbs are finely chopped. Turn off the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining herbs and the remaining olive oil and purée, stopping as soon as the ingredients form a homogenous paste, and adding more olive oil, if necessary, to obtain a loose, spoonable salsa. (You want to stop the machine as soon as you achieve the desired consistency, as the blade will heat the garlic and give it a bitter flavor. Also, over-processing the salsa verde will incorporate too much air, making it fluffy and also too smooth. I like to see some flecks of herbs in my salsa verde.) Turn the salsa verde out into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice. Taste for seasoning and add more salt or lemon juice if desired. Use the salsa or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days-any longer and it will lose its pretty green color and vibrant flavor. Bring the salsa to room temperature, stir to recombine the ingredients, and taste again for seasoning before serving.
