STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH PORK AND CHILES
In this fast, piquant weeknight meal, ground pork and green beans are stir-fried with plenty of ginger, garlic and chiles, and seasoned with soy sauce and coriander seeds. A big splash of rice-wine vinegar right at the end adds a hit of acidity, which balances the pork's richness. Serve this over rice or rice noodles to help absorb all the salty, spicy sauce. Slices of fresh tomato add a sweet juiciness that works well here. But if you don't have a ripe tomato, feel free to leave it out.

- Return pork to skillet, along with chopped cilantro, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar. Stir briefly to combine, then scrape into a serving platter.
- Sprinkle more vinegar and soy sauce on top to taste, then top with more chopped cilantro. Serve with rice, and sliced tomato, if you like.

BUTTERMILK GREEN GODDESS SLAW
This herby coleslaw variation was adapted from "The Animal Farm Buttermilk Cookbook" (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013) by Diane St. Clair. In it, a tangy buttermilk- and avocado-spiked green goddess dressing takes the place of the usual mayonnaise mix, for a slaw that's both lighter and fresher tasting. Like most coleslaws, it gets better as it sits so, if you have time, plan to make it a few hours ahead. Save any extra dressing to use as a dip for cut vegetables or for other salads. It will keep for up to two days in the fridge.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Put avocado, buttermilk, lemon juice, anchovy, scallions, garlic, parsley, chives, tarragon, olive oil and basil in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth and uniformly green, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine cabbage, scallions, jalapeño and cilantro. Pour 1 cup of green goddess dressing over slaw and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with more cilantro before serving. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Toss again before serving, adding more dressing if you like. Leftover dressing will keep for another day or two in the fridge.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are a bright green color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or have yellow or brown spots.
- Trim the green beans before cooking. Cut off the ends of the beans and remove any strings that run along the sides. You can also blanch the beans briefly in boiling water to help remove the strings.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked green beans will be mushy, so be careful not to cook them for too long. You can cook green beans in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, stir-frying, and roasting.
- Add chives to the green beans at the end of cooking. This will help preserve the chives' delicate flavor and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, or lemon juice, to taste.
Conclusion:
Green beans with chives is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. The green beans are tender and crisp, and the chives add a delicate oniony flavor. This dish is a great way to use fresh green beans from your garden or local farmers market.
