Necessity in the mother of invention. Last night my need to use the green beans that came in last week’s farm box, a bunch of mint, and an old, half-wrinkled jalapeño I found in the crisper inspired me to create the best green beans ever. Steamed green beans tossed with a minty vinaigrette in which the jalapeño and a few cloves of garlic were puréed. I already posted it over at Local Foods if you want the exact recipe. I’m thinking it might be even more delicious if the chile weren’t quite so dessicated….
