These are an old soul food heirloom favorite in the garden and what I remember eating frequently as a child. I grew the pole variety this summer and they are super prolific/productive. They taste like nothing you buy in a store - super meaty, tender, long-lasting flavor. And now they are a favorite in my own family. The beans will cook in this semi-salty broth, and won't be as salty as is the broth. Ingredients:
4 cups trimmed heirloom green beans (such as kentucky wonder beans) |
1 slice bacon |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt |
1 pinch coarsely ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Pour about 1 inch of water into a saucepan; add green beans, bacon, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and place a cover on the saucepan. Cook beans until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
