The star of this vegetable side dish is the arbol chili pepper, or "bird's beak." It has a moderately spicy, rich flavor and a strong aroma. The small pods can be cooked whole, which makes the dish less spicy and more appealing. Fry the dried peppers in vegetable oil with ginger and garlic and mix with green beans. Serve sprinkled with chopped peanuts.
