Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 small new potatoes, halved if large
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices bacon, cut into thirds
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 pounds fresh green beans, ends trimmed

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or medium Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until it has rendered most of its fat and has begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans and potatoes and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then cover the pan and simmer until the beans are very tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to keep the beans covered. As the beans get close to being done they will become quite fragile, so take care when stirring.

Provided by Paula Deen

Time 10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 stick sliced butter
1 cut into slivers onion
12 small red potatoes
2 to 3 teaspoons Paula Deen's House Seasoning
2 cups plus more if needed chicken broth
1/4 cup bacon grease
1/4 lb sliced salt pork
3 lbs fresh green beans
to taste pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the ends from the beans. Snap the beans in two, place into a colander, wash, and set aside to drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large cast-iron Dutch oven, lightly brown the salt pork in the bacon grease over medium heat, turning often, for approximately 10 minutes. Toss the green beans into the pot, stirring them with a wooden spoon to coat well with the pork fat. Add the stock and House Seasoning. Cook over medium-low heat, covered tightly, for approximately 30 minutes, or until the beans are half done.
  • While the beans are cooking, peel a center strip from each new potato with a potato peeler. At the end of 30 minutes, add the potatoes and onion to the beans; add 1/4 cup more broth if needed. Cook, covered tightly, until the potatoes are tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes, periodically checking the pot to make sure a small amount of liquid remains. When the potatoes are tender, tilt the lid slightly, off to the side of the pot, and continue to cook until the green beans are wilted, approximately 15 minutes. While cooking, add butter and season with pepper.

"BEST EVER" GREEN BEANS AND NEW POTATOES



This simple, delicious recipe dates back generations in my family...we always get half-runner beans for this recipe and we can find them at our local produce store around Memorial Day (they are shipped in but first taste of the season is still OH SO GOOD!!! You can tweak the recipe according to your tastes by making it sweeter...

Provided by Mary Kay Nugent

Categories     Vegetables

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3-4 lb fresh half runner beans (ends snapped off, strings removed, broken in half or thirds)
1-2 lb jowl bacon (skin removed and sliced)
1 large yellow onion diced
1/4-1/2 c bacon grease or if you don't have any saved bacon grease you can use lard but bacon fat is most flavorful
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 lb red new potatoes
1 stick butter

Steps:

  • 1. Half runners have the very distinct feature of a string that runs down both sides of the bean...i find it easiest to snap off one end of the bean and pull the string down then snap the other end and remove the string on the other side....This will help you remove most of the strings but you will never get them all so don't get frustrated...small price to pay for the end result! So, step one is to snap off the ends and remove the string and break the beans into halves, or thirds...then put them in your kitchen sink and run water over them to wash them off
  • 2. Dice up your onion and remove the skin off of a 1-2 lb chunk of jowl bacon...salt pork can also be used but I prefer the jowl bacon...slice the jowl in about 1/4 in. slices...put your bacon grease or lard in a large stock pot on med. hi heat, add your jowl bacon and let it get kinda brown on the edges and fry up a little bit...add diced onion at this point as well...Saute onion for about 5 min.
  • 3. Put all of your beans into the stock pot, add water just up to the top of the beans (do not cover completely), add salt & pepper (I use about an 1/8 of a cup each of the salt and pepper for optimum flavor but you can adjust according to your dietary allowances and taste. Cover and bring to a hard boil then turn heat down and just cook with a steady light boil on about medium for approximately an hour.
  • 4. While the beans are cooking boil your potatoes. Tiny potatoes are rare at the grocery store though the earliest new potatoes at the farmers market can be just this small. I would pick out the smallest red-skinned potatoes available, of similar size so they cook evenly. Cook them whole,(you can peel them if you want, but it can be tedious with potatoes of a very small size) then cut into halves or quarters when tossing with the butter. In a large sauce pan boil till fork tender....drain and add the stick of butter to the potatoes...when melted and your beans are done dump the potatoes (with butter) over into the bean pot and stir...Adjust seasonings and Enjoy!!

THE BEST GREEN BEANS EVER



The Best Green Beans Ever image

Ree Drummond's Best Green Beans Ever recipe, from The Pioneer Woman on Food Network, starts with bacon grease and gains even more flavor from chicken stock.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons bacon grease (can substitute 2 tablespoons butter)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup chicken broth, plus more if needed
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt (can substitute regular table salt, use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
  • Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest vegetables possible. Look for green beans that are bright green and crisp, and new potatoes that are firm and smooth.
  • Trim the green beans before cooking. Remove the ends of the beans, and any strings that may be attached.
  • Boil the green beans and new potatoes together until they are tender. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Drain the vegetables and transfer them to a serving dish. Add the butter, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
  • Serve the green beans and new potatoes immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a side dish with grilled meats or fish.

Conclusion:

This recipe for green beans and new potatoes is a simple but delicious way to enjoy these fresh vegetables. The beans and potatoes are boiled together until they are tender, then tossed with butter, salt, and pepper. The result is a dish that is both healthy and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
