SKILLET-CHARRED GREEN BEANS
These green beans with bagna cauda flavors make a wonderful accompaniment to any meat, fish or chicken dish. The beans are simple to cook and fairly effortless, so do resist the urge to stir too often. Allow them to sit, caramelize and shrivel to bring out all of their natural sweetness. Anchovies are tossed in at the end for a bright, salty hit that complements the sweet beans and shallots. These beans can be made ahead, and are equally delicious warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer mixture to a small bowl.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add green beans, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat in the oil. Leave undisturbed over medium heat for 2 minutes to encourage charring, then stir and cook, tossing every 2 minutes, until most of the beans are shriveled, about 6 minutes longer.
- Reduce heat to low and add the shallot mixture and anchovies. Cook, stirring, until well incorporated and anchovies dissolve, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high). If using a grill, arrange green beans in a grill basket and place on hot grill. Cover and grill, turning once halfway through, until beans are lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. If using a grill pan, cook green beans directly on pan, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip ricotta, 3 Tbsp. oil, and 3/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Spread whipped ricotta on a serving platter and arrange charred green beans over. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Avoid limp or bruised beans, as they will not char as well.
- Trim the green beans: Trim the ends of the green beans, but leave them whole.
- Heat the skillet over high heat: This will help to create a good char on the green beans.
- Add the green beans to the skillet: Spread the green beans in a single layer in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the green beans will not char evenly.
- Do not stir the green beans: Let the green beans cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to char.
- Toss the green beans: Use a spatula to gently toss the green beans, so that they cook evenly.
- Cook the green beans for another 2-3 minutes: Continue to cook the green beans, tossing them occasionally, until they are tender.
- Season the green beans: Remove the green beans from the skillet and season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Serve the green beans: Serve the green beans immediately, while they are still hot.
Conclusion:
Charred green beans with garlic are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of any meal. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With their smoky flavor and tender texture, charred green beans are sure to become a favorite.
