Recipe came from Better Homes and Gardens magazine. It really is excellent. It makes quite a bit but can be easily adjusted. I have made it for large gatherings and small family dinners. It is very good at room temperature so it's great for potlucks or BBQs too. The recipe calls for rosemary but any of your favorite herb(s) would do (fresh is always better but I've often used dried). Hope you like! Ingredients:
8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces (about 2-1/2 cups) |
1 head garlic |
2 lbs new potatoes, quartered (small new potatoes) |
2 medium red sweet peppers, cut into large chunks |
4 green onions, sliced |
salt and black pepper (to taste) |
1/4 cup chicken broth |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon fresh snipped rosemary |
Directions:
1. Cook green beans in boiling water for about 3 minutes.
2. Drain beans and place in ice water; set aside.
3. Peel away the dry outer layers of skin from the head of garlic.
4. Leave skins of cloves intact; do not separate.

6. Place the head of garlic, cut side up, in a shallow roasting pan.

9. Drizzle with chicken broth.
