Katy Hees of Santa Fe, New Mexico, writes: "Eating local, fresh, organic food is important to me. It doesn't get much more local than the eggs I use, which come from our own chickens. I also have a garden, which inspired my roasted green beans."

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 slices turkey bacon
¼ cup Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Stock
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
6 egg yolks
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
2 pounds fresh whole green beans, trimmed
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place turkey bacon in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook to desired crispness, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Chop bacon into small pieces.
  • Mix Swanson® Chicken Stock, cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dill in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, 30 seconds.
  • Place water in the bottom of a double boiler; water should not touch the bottom of the top pan. Bring water to a boil. Lightly beat egg yolks in the top of the double boiler. Cook, stirring until thickened and egg yolks are about double in volume, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Gradually whisk in stock/cream mixture, whisking until completely combined. Mix thoroughly for another minute. Season with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat and cover to keep sauce warm.
  • Set a steamer basket insert into a large saucepan. Pour in Swanson® Chicken Broth to just below the bottom of the steamer; bring to a boil. Add green beans, season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Discard leftover chicken broth or reserve for another use.
  • Transfer beans to a serving dish; sprinkle with bacon crumbles. Top with hollandaise sauce and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right green beans: Look for young, tender beans that are bright green and snap easily. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the beans: Trim the ends of the beans and remove any strings. If the beans are large, you can also cut them into smaller pieces.
  • Cook the beans quickly: Green beans are best when they are cooked quickly. Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season the beans simply: Green beans are a versatile vegetable that can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular options include garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve the beans warm or cold: Green beans can be served warm or cold. They are a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and stir-fries.

Conclusion:

Green beans are a healthy and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With their mild flavor and tender texture, they are a great choice for both everyday meals and special occasions. So next time you're looking for a simple and tasty side dish, give green beans a try!
