CARAMELIZED ONION GREEN BEANS



Caramelized Onion Green Beans image

This recipe came from a Woman's World magazine. It is very good and has a very pretty presentation. (**Updating to say that I made this recipe with canned cut green beans. I simply drained them and heated them in a little broth for about 3-5 minutes and added them to the recipe instead of fresh green beans. They were very good this way...a nice way to dress up canned green beans.)

Categories     Onions

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, sliced, about 2 cups
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dry cajun seasoning (I used blacken seasoning)
1 1/2 lbs green beans

Steps:

  • In skillet, melt 1 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 7-10 minutes. Add sugar, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring often, until onion is soft and golden brown, 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans; cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. (Next time, I will cook longer as mine were not as done as I would have liked them.) Drain well, then add to onion with remaining 1 Tbsp butter. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are a deep green color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or have yellowed tips.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the stem ends of the green beans. You can also trim the strings from the beans if they are tough.
  • Use a large skillet: This will help to ensure that the green beans cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to caramelize the onions and prevent them from burning.
  • Add the onions and cook until they are caramelized: This will take about 15 minutes. Stir the onions occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Add the green beans and cook until they are tender: This will take about 10 minutes. Stir the green beans occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the green beans with salt and pepper: To taste.
  • Serve the green beans immediately: These beans are best served hot.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onion green beans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. These beans are packed with flavor and are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give caramelized onion green beans a try!
