Author Notes
I’m slightly sure I realized this recipe from Sara Moulton (take into accout when the Food Community extinct to be staffed with staunch chefs and we realized things?). I judge she had a few extra ingredients, perchance rice vinegar or sesame seeds? Either or each and every would work smartly, as would lemon zest. But I fancy the sweetness and ease of gentle beans, a splash of nutty oil and the sharpness of raw garlic. It’s change into a summer season staple for me, and I’ve even had one buddy — who hates all inexperienced things — return for seconds. To those cilantro-haters, I will be able to finest provide a mea culpa. That you can change contemporary parsley, but it might possibly possibly perchance perchance now not be the an identical. Use “younger” inexperienced beans: now not haricot vert, now not thick, woody ones. (You might possibly perchance be ready to also glean this with sugar snap peas, snow peas, peas, or a combination. This week, I added a handful of snow peas.) – Teri —Teri

The simplicity works, I’ve cherished toasted sesame oil with inexperienced beans without a kill in sight however the usage of contemporary cilantro with this veggie is a replace up for me that is nice. After dumping the beans into the dressing, I felt compelled to sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on the glistening inexperienced beans; what sight! Teri is staunch about looking out out for to luxuriate in these straight; my husband kept snatching single beans every time he went by the platter! Perfect earlier than serving, I ground slightly crunchy sea salt over the beans for slightly “pow” of saltiness I fancy with sesame oil. Thumbs up! – Amber Olson —The Editors
