green beans
download as pdf
While the cooking time may seem extremely long, this is an old-fashioned southern means of cooking vegetables. When cooked this way, the beans are served with their "pot liquor" and cornbread to sop it up.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped yellow onions
3/4 teaspoon salt then salt to taste when complete
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 pound of bacon
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed and halved
Add the oil in a medium, heavy saucepan. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add the ham hocks, garlic, and beans. Add enough water to almost completely cover the beans. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours. Remove from the heat and serve with the cooking liquid.
