Celery and Jícama SautéMatthew Hranek

This slightly unusual side dish takes the place of your standard green beans, lending a light and crunchy contrast to the heavier, puréed dishes in this menu. (Most people don't think of cooking jicama, but we love its crisp water-chestnut-like texture, raw or sautéed.)

Cooks' note:

Celery and jicama can be cut 1 day ahead and chilled in a sealed plastic bag lined with dampened paper towels.
