The unusual green bean casserole is a dish that has traveled through various culinary cultures, emerging as a modern reinterpretation of traditional home-style casseroles. Originally, casseroles are lasagnas of various ingredients baked in a single dish, very popular in the United States, but this version is accompanied by fresh ingredients and textures that give it a different touch. In Latin America, green beans are also known as "judías verdes" in Mexico, "vainitas" in Chile, and "porotos verdes" in countries like Argentina and Uruguay. This recipe combines the simplicity of green beans with a creamy and crunchy flavor, honoring the creativity that characterizes chef Dawn Hornsby.
