4-BSide

3 slices of rustic bread, sliced 1 inch thick
1 tablespoon + 1/4 cup olive oil
2 lemons
1 head kale, washed and torn into small pieces
1/4 cup shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano
Coarse salt
Crushed red pepper flakes

1/3 cup cashews
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
8 oz shitake mushrooms, sliced
Splash of dry white wine (optional)
5 cups haricot verts, ends removed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon flour

Step 1
Soak cashews in water for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight. After soaked, 
blend in a high-speed blender with water, soy sauce and lemon juice until 
completely smooth.

Step 2
In an 8-inch cast iron skillet or nonstick pan, sauté onion in 2 tablespoons 
of olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, 
mushrooms as well as salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for an additional 10 min-
utes, until mushrooms have reduced and browned. Add wine and cook until 
reduced.

Step 3
Stir in cashew mixture, green beans and crushed red pepper flakes. Sprinkle 
with bread crumbs and bake in cast iron pan at 350-degrees for 20 minutes.

Step 4
Gently mix shallots with flour. Salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, until oil is 
glistening and slick. Place shallots in skillet and sauté until brown, about 90 
seconds. Flip and let cook for an additional minute or so. Remove from pan, pat 
with paper towel to remove excess oil, and top the casserole.

Step 1
Cube bread into 1-inch cubes. Place on foil lined baking sheet and 
brush with 1 tablespoon oil. Bake in oven at 450 degrees until 
crispy and slightly browned, around 10 minutes.

Step 2
Vigorously whisk juice from 1 lemon and 1/4 cup olive oil together. 
Slice remaining lemon into thin slivers. Toss all ingredients to-
gether, including croutons, adding salt and pepper to taste.

EPISODE REVIEW

 The more we find out, the 
less we know. ABC’s new hit 
drama “Quantico” has pulled 
out all the 
stops in its 
first season 
— and the 
latest epi-
sode, “Over,” 
was no 
exception. 
The secrets 
keep piling 
on, and the 
godly FBI agents keep up their 
badassery.
 In real time, FBI agent Alex 
Parrish (Bollywood actress 
Priyanka Chopra) continues to 
hunt for the terrorist who set 
her up for the Grand Central 
Station bombing. Lucky for 
her, the FBI got hacked, leak-
ing classified documents with 
all the information she needs 
to clear her name. Then comes 
a big twist: There’s another 
bomb somewhere in the city, 
and nobody knows where to 

look. Flashback to the Quan-
tico training facility, and the 
NATs are given yet another 
test. Nimah and Raina finally 
reveal their separate entities, 
but Simon seems to have acci-
dentally fallen for the “wrong” 
twin. Shelby and Caleb con-
tinue to develop their romance, 
building suspense for the 
reason that will explain their 
doomed relationship.

 The double-time structure of 
the show allows for a fast-paced 
drama, keeping the audience 
on its toes and eager to connect 
the dots. The agents have a con-
tagious chemistry and complex 
background stories, which pro-
vides the dramatic backbone for 
this supposed “guilty pleasure” 
series.
