On the sides
These are the supporting actors for the food world. But as you take a spin through recipes such as rustic summer vegetable casserole, pork dumplings, or rice salad with shrimp and arugula, you might consider casting them in a starring role.

Dear SOS: Last week I had the epicurean adventure of a lifetime at the Yard House at L.A. Live. The ribs and creamed corn were excellent, but the barbecued beans were heavenly. Could you please provide the recipe for these fabulous beans?

Recipe: Curried chickpeas from Joan's on Third
Dear SOS: I am utterly obsessed with the curried chickpeas at Joan’s on Third. They are the best curried chickpeas I've ever had. Every time I go there I order them as part of the salad trio (a selection of three salads from their daily specials on the marketplace menu). I should know by now that I should order just the chickpeas because they're all I ever want to eat (well, that and a number of things from the bakery).

Creamed fava beans and bacon (Feves au Lard Fume)
Fava beans don't get any richer than this, and they don't get any more delicious, either. This recipe from Richard Olney's "Simple French Food" (Atheneum, 1974) is almost compulsively edible. After all, how bad can bacon, cream and egg yolks be?

AOC's black kale dish is a savory feast
Dear SOS: Last winter, my sweetheart and I went to AOC early in the evening on a gloomy, chilly day. We polished off our feast, and although everything was delicious, the cavolo nero was so melt-in-your-mouth tender and elegantly simple that I swear I can still taste it. I've tried to replicate it several times (my family and I have definitely enjoyed my black kale experiments), but none of them has quite come close to Suzanne Goin's version. If she would share her recipe, I'd be eternally grateful.
