Green Beans

📍 Los Angeles American Creative $$$

at Girl and the Goat LA

"Green beans at Girl and the Goat LA are charred in a cast-iron pan — the beans are cooked at high heat until they have blisters and a slight char. The fish sauce vinaigrette is applied at the table. The cashews add crunch. This is the dish that proves vegetable cooking requires as much attention as protein cooking."

"The green beans are cooked in a pan that is hot enough to char them without burning them — this is a timing game. The fish sauce vinaigrette is built from a base of fish sauce, lime, sugar, and chili, which is a Southeast Asian profile applied to a California vegetable. The combination works. The cashews add textural contrast."
