GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat combine potatoes, green beans, thyme, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and 3/4 cup of broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• In a small bowl blend remaining broth and cornstarch. Stir in parsley; add to potato mixture. Cook, stirring, until bubbly and thickened.

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat if garlic begins to brown. Add green beans, then continue to cook and stir until bright green but not quite tender, about 4 minutes.
• Mix in tomatoes, lemon juice and pine nuts, and season with chives, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer gently uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.

GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash beans thoroughly. Snap off ends and remove strings.
• Break into 2 inch pieces.
• Peel potatoes and cut in half.
• In a large pot fry bacon, just until it starts to brown.
• Add the beans and potatoes.
• Cover with water. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer on medium for about 1 hour.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• ****I also threw some onions in the pot as well. The onions added a little more flavor.

SPANISH GREEN BEANS WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil water in saucepan.
• Clean green beans, remove tips with knife and remove threads along the sides using a vegetable peeler. If they are broad, slice them in half lengthwise. If not, leave them as they are. Then cut all beans into 4 cm pieces.
• Peel potato and cut them into stew chunks.
• Add green beans and potato to saucepan, season with salt to taste and let simmer 30 minutes.
• Peel garlic cloves, slice width-wise and fry in 4 tbsp oil in a small pan. When they are golden-brown, add them along with hot oil to green beans and let boil 2 minutes so that the flavors mix. Serve on plates.

GREEN BEANS WITH NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Remove ends of beans. Snap each bean in 2 pieces, place in a colander, wash, and set aside to drain.
• In a large cast iron Dutch oven, lightly brown salt pork in the bacon grease over medium heat, turning often, for approximately 10 minutes. Remove salt pork and discard. Add onions and saute until browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Toss green beans into pot, stirring them with a wooden spoon to coat well with pork fat. Add broth and seasoning. Cook over medium-low heat, covered tightly, for approximately 30 minutes, or until beans are half done.
• While beans are cooking, peel a center strip from each potato with a potato peeler. At the end of 30 minutes, add potatoes; add 1/4 cup more broth, if needed. Cook, covered tightly until potatoes are tender, approximately 25-30 minutes, periodically checking the pot to make sure a small amount of liquid remains. When potatoes are tender, tilt lid slightly, off to the side of the pot, and continue to cook until beans are wilted and soft, approximately 15 minutes. While cooking, add the butter and season with pepper.

OLD SOUTH GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In pot cover green beans with water and boil till tender with potatoes and bacon (or ham hock); drain.
• Add your favorite seasoning (I like butter, salt, and pepper).
• Remember ham hocks take a little longer than green beans, so if you use a ham hock, boil it first till tender then add the rest and cook. I personally never use ham hock due to fat content--I usually just use the bacon strips. I only listed it here as it was in the old south recipe.

SPANISH GREEN BEANS WITH BACON

Steps:

• In a large pot of salted water cook the green beans about 5-6 minutes, only until just tender but still with some "bite".
• In a saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium heat and fry the onion for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook another minute. DO NOT burn the garlic!
• Drain the green beans well and add to the saucepan with the garlic. Cook, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon. NOTE: If using Serrano or Parma ham, add it at the same time with the garlic.
• Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
