SOUTHERN GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the vegetable oil. Spread the ham in the skillet in a thin layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns brown and crispy. Remove half of the ham shards from the skillet and place on a paper-towel lined plate. Leave the remaining ham and any fat that has rendered in the skillet.
• Add the green beans, chicken stock, pepper and salt to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the stock reduces and darkens in color and the beans are soft but hold their shape, about 30 minutes. Pour into a serving platter and sprinkle with the reserved crispy ham.

SOUTHERN GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Cook green beans in 1-inch simmering water, covered, for 6 minutes. Drain and set aside. Return skillet to stove and set burner to medium high. Add bacon and brown. When fat begins to render, add chopped onions to the pan and cook until tender with the bacon. Add cooked green beans to the pan and turn to coat in bacon drippings and onions. When the beans are hot and bacon crisp at edges and onions translucent add vinegar to the pan and season with beans with sugar. Allow the vinegar to evaporate and the sugar to combine with pan drippings, 1 to 2 minutes, then serve.
