THE BEST GREEN BEANS EVER



The Best Green Beans Ever image

Ree Drummond's Best Green Beans Ever recipe, from The Pioneer Woman on Food Network, starts with bacon grease and gains even more flavor from chicken stock.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons bacon grease (can substitute 2 tablespoons butter)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup chicken broth, plus more if needed
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt (can substitute regular table salt, use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
  • Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.

KALE AND WHITE BEANS



Kale and White Beans image

I hated kale until a friend gave me a bunch from her garden and this recipe. I added a few ingredients. At dinner my husband ate two servings and asked me to make it again. Success!

Provided by Hinkle

Categories     Greens

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch fresh kale, washed and stemmed
14 ounces canned white beans, rinsed and drained (I used navy beans)
4 -6 garlic cloves, peeled and diced
1 medium tomatoes, sliced thinly
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced thinly
4 -6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
1/4-1/3 cup asiago cheese, sliced thinly (I used a vegetable peeler)

Steps:

  • If you can get fresh kale from a garden, wash it, shake off excess water, and store it in a partially airtight container in the frig for 3-4 days. As it "ages," it sweetens.
  • Heat the olive oil slowly in a large frying pan.
  • While the oil is heating, chop the kale in large strips. Set aside.
  • Saute onion and garlic over medium-low heat until they begin to turn color. Do not burn.
  • Throughout the rest of this prepartion do not overheat the oil. Medium should be the right temperature.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, oregano, and thyme. Stir gently for another minute or two until the sugar has disappeared.
  • If you need to add a bit more olive oil, do so at this point. You need a thin layer of hot oil covering the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir the chopped kale into the hot oil mix. Kale may look to be too much to fit in the pan, but be patient; as you stir it in, it begins to wilt down to a manageable size. Stir the kale gently for a few minutes, just long enough to cook it down a bit. Do not let it become soft.
  • Stir in the drained, rinsed beans, the balsamic vinegar, and the salt.
  • Lay the tomato slices on top.
  • Lay the thinly sliced asiago cheese on top of the tomatoes.
  • Turn off heat or turn down very low, cover and let steam for 5 minutes. Serve hot.

YUMMY BEANS N' GREENS IN A BOWL (KALE SOUP)



Yummy Beans N' Greens in a Bowl (Kale Soup) image

A light and delicious fast fix meal that is easy on the waist and the pocketbook! This comes together very fast and will fill you up with just a few tasty but healthy ingredients. The quantity listed leaves you with a soupy, brother bowl of yum! You could add another batch of kale if you like, there is that much broth. Also great with all kinds of beans. To me this dish seems like a beautiful marriage between Italian and Southern cooking. Hope you enjoy! PS: If you use a vegetarian 'chicken' broth this will be completely vegetarian friendly! Skip the parm or use a vegan parm and you have a vegan friendly dish! The portion is very generous! Adjust time if you are using more tender greens so they are not over cooked.

Categories     Beans

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, chopped
4 cups fat free chicken broth or 4 cups vegetable broth
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans or 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans
1 bunch swiss chard (any greens such as mustard, turnip, collards should work, just adjust cooking time for more tender g) or 1 bunch spinach (any greens such as mustard, turnip, collards should work, just adjust cooking time for more tender g)
1 cup spinach leaves, fresh (yes this is in addition to the other greens) (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
salt and pepper
parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a dutch oven and spray with cooking spray. Add olive oil and then the onion and garlic. Saute just until it begins to soften, Add chicken broth and allow to continue cooking while you begin the next steps.
  • Wash whatever greens you choose to use and remove any hard stalks. Stack the leaves one on top of the other, roll like a cigar and slice into 1/4 inch slices, then cut the pieces in half. This will give you nice ribbons that are not too wide or long.
  • Add greens, sugar and nutmeg (if using) to the pan. (Save spinach for later) Stir to combine. (The sugar will not make the dish sweet but will balance some of the bitterness from the greens).
  • Rinse and drain beans and add to pan. Stir gently. Simmer for 20 minutes or until greens are al dente or as soft as you would like. Toss in spinach just to wilt.
  • Ladle each serving into a bowl and top with a generous sprinkling of freshly grated parmesan cheese and additional cracked pepper if desired. Crusty bread is also a great accompaniment for all the yummy broth that is swimming in the bowl.
  • Enjoy!
