Here’s a simple one: a side-dish we do ALL the time!
Keltin’s Southern Green Beans
Ingredients
1/2 lb fresh green bens (pole bens, snap beans, etc)
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup chopped ham
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp Soy Sauce (optional)
1/4 cup White Zinfandel wine (optional)
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 cup water
Salt & Pepper to taste
Procedure
In a medium stock pot, add some Olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add Ham and onions, and sauté for 5 minutes.
Now add garlic and wine (if using) and sauté 3 minutes longer to reduce.
Next, add potatoes and stir to incorporate. Let things settle in the pan, then pile the green beans on top of the potatoes.
Now add Soy (if using) chicken broth and water. Cover and allow to cook 20 - 25 minutes (until potatoes are tender). Serve with your favorite main course!
Fresh Beans!
Cleaned and snapped…..ready to cook!
Mise en place!
Brown the ham and onions. Add garlic and wine as well.
Add the potatoes and stir, then add the broth, soy (if using) and water. Cover and let simmer.
Done! Sprinkle with cracked pepper and serve!
