• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Add the ham and continue cooking until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and remove from the heat.

SOUTHERN GREEN BEANS WITH HAM

Steps:

• Place a large Dutch oven on the stove at med-hi heat. Add the bacon fat. Add the green beans and onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent, constantly stirring to coat the beans. They will turn a brighter green in the fat.
• Add the water or ham broth and ham pieces. Bring to boil then turn down to low and simmer until the beans are tender and the liquid is reduced. Approx 20 mins. If the water evaporates faster than the beans are cooking, adjust by adding water. If there is far too much liquid and the beans are cooking faster than it evaporates, do not cover. Final dish should still be moist but not have a lot of loose liquid. Salt and pepper to taste.
