But by adding texture to the beans, they go from sad greens to vegetables you&#8217;ll want to eat night after night. In her book Cook This Book (Amazon.com, $20), Molly Baz explains that the way food feels in your mouth influences its flavor and enjoyment. &#8220;Thinking about textures is important when choosing ingredients for a dish.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is demonstrated in Baz&#8217;s lemon-garlic green beans recipe. The pistachios add a satisfying crunch, and the cold beans add a fresh, earthy flavor. It can improve a dish&#8217;s texture and flavor, says Baz. The citrus flavor of the lemon-garlic green beans complements umami-rich entr\u00e9es like steak or grilled mushrooms for plant-based eaters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make Baz&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/lavyon.com\/\"><strong>lemon-garlic green beans<\/strong><\/a> for a summer dinner party or a solo meal tonight. They&#8217;ll make you forget about the soggy, bland beans you ate as a kid (and adult). (Any leftover beans can be used in this vegetarian paella.)<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13035\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13035\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13035\" src=\"http:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/photo-CAITLIN-BENSEL.jpg\" alt=\"photo: CAITLIN BENSEL\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1600\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/photo-CAITLIN-BENSEL.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/photo-CAITLIN-BENSEL-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/photo-CAITLIN-BENSEL-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/photo-CAITLIN-BENSEL-696x696.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13035\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo: CAITLIN BENSEL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Green Beans with Lemon, Garlic, and Pistachio Vinaigrette<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serves: 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cook time: 6 minutes<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total time: 20 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kosher salt<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 lemons<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3\/4 cup roasted, salted pistachios<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 1\/2 lb. green beans, romano beans, or wax beans, or a combination, ends trimmed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freshly ground black pepper<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\/3 cup grated Parmesan (about 1\/2 oz.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 small garlic clove<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Directions for a perfect <a href=\"http:\/\/lavyon.com\/\">lemon-garlic green beans<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot.
