1 1/2 pounds French string beans, both ends trimmed

Pour enough dressing over the beans to moisten them well, reserving the rest for another use. Toss with the dill, season to taste, and serve at room temperature.

GRANNY'S VINEGAR GREEN BEANS



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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Opt for tender and crisp string beans that snap easily when broken. Avoid wilted or bruised ones.
  • Trim and cut: Trim the ends of the beans and cut them into desired lengths, typically 2-3 inches.

  • Marinate: Prepare a simple vinaigrette dressing with olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Marinate the blanched beans in the dressing for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to infuse them with flavor.
  • Add-ins: Enhance the salad with various ingredients such as chopped red onion, sliced almonds, crumbled goat cheese, or cherry tomatoes for added texture and flavor.
