POLE BEANS AND NEW POTATOES
Simple yummy southern tasting side dish. Pole beans are larger than everyday green beans (Kentucky wonder is a favorite variety). Try to find tender beans that do not have a heavy "string"; they will cook in the same amount of time as the potatoes.

KENTUCKY WONDER BEANS
These are an old soul food heirloom favorite in the garden and what I remember eating frequently as a child. I grew the pole variety this summer and they are super prolific/productive. They taste like nothing you buy in a store - super meaty, tender, long-lasting flavor. And now they are a favorite in my own family. The beans will cook in this semi-salty broth, and won't be as salty as is the broth.
