Grilled Long Beans with Creamy Pasilla Chile
While long beans aren't traditional in Mexican cuisine, chef Rick Bayless loves them so much he grows them on the rooftop of one of his restaurants, Topolobampo. For this recipe, he grills the beans and serves them with a creamy chile sauce. You can use ancho chiles in place of pasillas, though the flavor won't be as nuanced. Look for dried chiles in the produce department or in the spice section.
