Katy Hees of Santa Fe, New Mexico, writes: "Eating local, fresh, organic food is important to me. It doesn't get much more local than the eggs I use, which come from our own chickens. I also have a garden, which inspired my roasted green beans."

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 slices turkey bacon
¼ cup Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Stock
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
6 egg yolks
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
2 pounds fresh whole green beans, trimmed
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place turkey bacon in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook to desired crispness, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Chop bacon into small pieces.
  • Mix Swanson® Chicken Stock, cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dill in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, 30 seconds.
  • Place water in the bottom of a double boiler; water should not touch the bottom of the top pan. Bring water to a boil. Lightly beat egg yolks in the top of the double boiler. Cook, stirring until thickened and egg yolks are about double in volume, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Gradually whisk in stock/cream mixture, whisking until completely combined. Mix thoroughly for another minute. Season with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat and cover to keep sauce warm.
  • Set a steamer basket insert into a large saucepan. Pour in Swanson® Chicken Broth to just below the bottom of the steamer; bring to a boil. Add green beans, season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Discard leftover chicken broth or reserve for another use.
  • Transfer beans to a serving dish; sprinkle with bacon crumbles. Top with hollandaise sauce and serve.

  • Trim the beans: Rinse the beans under cold water and trim the ends. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
  • Cook the beans properly: There are several ways to cook green beans, including boiling, steaming, and sautéing. Be careful not to overcook the beans, as they will become mushy.
  • Add garlic for flavor: Garlic is a great way to add flavor to green beans. You can add minced garlic to the beans while they are cooking, or you can sauté the garlic in olive oil before adding the beans.
  • Season the beans to taste: Once the beans are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
