Granny's Vinegar Green Beans image

My 100-year-old grandmother (who everyone calls granny)used to make these green beans when I was a child. She picked the beans fresh from her large backyard garden. Although I have never been a green bean fan, my husband is, and he loves this old time dish!

Categories     Vegetables

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb fresh green beans
1 small onion, thinly sliced
6 slice bacon, coarsely chopped
2 large eggs
1/2 c cider vinegar
1/4 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Trim bean; cut in half if extra long. Cook in boiling salted water until tender. Drain, then place in a warm serving dish.
  • 2. Put onion and bacon in a small skillet and saute until bacon is crisp.
  • 3. Whisk together eggs, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl, then whisk this mixture into skillet. Heat. When sauce is hot (don't overheat or you will 'scramble' the eggs!), pour over green beans; toss and serve.
  • 4. *I know there is a concern nowadays about consuming uncooked eggs. Although the eggs in this dish are not fully cooked, they are heated until hot (perhaps 'pasturized'?) - as in Spaghetti Carbonara.

I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes to this recipe for a little bit of heat. It really kicks up the flavor.

These green beans are a great way to use up leftover bacon. They're also a great side dish for any summer cookout.

I love the way the vinegar and sugar caramelize on the green beans. It gives them a wonderful flavor.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The vinegar gives the green beans a nice tang that really brightens up the dish.
