    From the Test Kitchen

    Pork dishes are always delicious with a plush, fruity red—even more so when the dish has a zesty, tangy element such as the vegetal flavors in this summer vegetable salad.

    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans; cut into 2-inch pieces. Remove any husks and silks from the corn; cut the kernels off the cobs. Halve the tomatoes. Place in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Peel 2 cloves of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Halve the buns.

    Cook the vegetables
    2 Cook the vegetables

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the green bean pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Add the corn kernels and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add 1/4 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the water has cooked off. Turn off the heat.
