LEMON-SESAME GREEN BEANS
There's a kabob shop in Charlottesville, Virginia, called Sticks and it has wonderful sides, including sesame beans. I love them so much that I had to make my own version. You can use fresh or frozen green beans; haricots verts (French green beans) work well, too. This salad only gets better as it sits, so it's great (and convenient!) to make a day or two in advance. -Dyan Carlson, Kents Store, Virginia

Steps:
- Snap off the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
- Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter is cooking evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony-yellow to golden-tan to, finally, a toasty-brown.
- Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add some lemon juice and salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.
LEMON SESAME GLAZED GREENS
Steps:
- Remove any large stems from the greens and wash them thoroughly; do so in a sink with at least 5 inches of water. Moving the leaves around in the water and allowing them to sit for a few minutes to allow the sand or dirt to fall to the bottom of the sink. Once clean, roughly chop the greens. You should have 1 to 1 1/4 pounds finished greens once they are stemmed. (Weigh the greens after stemming, but before washing.)
- Heat a large 13 by 11-inch roasting pan set over 2 burners on medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil. Add the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Add the greens and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, tossing continually. Add the red pepper flakes and the sesame seeds. Toss to combine. Adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels; toss with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cornstarch. Combine broth, lemon zest and juice, sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and 1 teaspoon salt; stir until sugar dissolves. In a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high, heat 1/4 cup safflower oil until shimmering. Add beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until they blister in places, 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels with a slotted spoon; sprinkle with salt.
- Add 1/4 cup safflower oil to skillet; heat 1 minute. Add chicken; cook, stirring once, 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; discard oil. Add broth mixture. Simmer, scraping up browned bits with a spatula, 1 minute. Return chicken and beans to skillet. Simmer until sauce thickens and coats chicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve over rice.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh green beans. If using frozen green beans, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To blanch the green beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn bright green. Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- For a more intense flavor, toast the sesame seeds before adding them to the dish.
- If you don't have lemon juice on hand, you can substitute white vinegar or rice vinegar.
- Serve the green beans warm or at room temperature.
