SOUTHERN STYLE GREEN BEANS AND NEW POTATOES



Southern Style Green Beans and New Potatoes image

One of my favorite vegetables fresh out of the garden is green beans. When I was growing up, I remember a man that use to come through our neighborhood in a wagon pulled by a mule.

"BEST EVER" GREEN BEANS AND NEW POTATOES



This simple, delicious recipe dates back generations in my family...we always get half-runner beans for this recipe and we can find them at our local produce store around Memorial Day (they are shipped in but first taste of the season is still OH SO GOOD!!! You can tweak the recipe according to your tastes by making it sweeter...

Provided by Mary Kay Nugent

Categories     Vegetables

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3-4 lb fresh half runner beans (ends snapped off, strings removed, broken in half or thirds)
1-2 lb jowl bacon (skin removed and sliced)
1 large yellow onion diced
1/4-1/2 c bacon grease or if you don't have any saved bacon grease you can use lard but bacon fat is most flavorful
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 lb red new potatoes
1 stick butter

Steps:

  • 1. Half runners have the very distinct feature of a string that runs down both sides of the bean...i find it easiest to snap off one end of the bean and pull the string down then snap the other end and remove the string on the other side....This will help you remove most of the strings but you will never get them all so don't get frustrated...small price to pay for the end result! So, step one is to snap off the ends and remove the string and break the beans into halves, or thirds...then put them in your kitchen sink and run water over them to wash them off
  • 2. Dice up your onion and remove the skin off of a 1-2 lb chunk of jowl bacon...salt pork can also be used but I prefer the jowl bacon...slice the jowl in about 1/4 in. slices...put your bacon grease or lard in a large stock pot on med. hi heat, add your jowl bacon and let it get kinda brown on the edges and fry up a little bit...add diced onion at this point as well...Saute onion for about 5 min.
  • 3. Put all of your beans into the stock pot, add water just up to the top of the beans (do not cover completely), add salt & pepper (I use about an 1/8 of a cup each of the salt and pepper for optimum flavor but you can adjust according to your dietary allowances and taste. Cover and bring to a hard boil then turn heat down and just cook with a steady light boil on about medium for approximately an hour.
  • 4. While the beans are cooking boil your potatoes. Tiny potatoes are rare at the grocery store though the earliest new potatoes at the farmers market can be just this small. I would pick out the smallest red-skinned potatoes available, of similar size so they cook evenly. Cook them whole,(you can peel them if you want, but it can be tedious with potatoes of a very small size) then cut into halves or quarters when tossing with the butter. In a large sauce pan boil till fork tender....drain and add the stick of butter to the potatoes...when melted and your beans are done dump the potatoes (with butter) over into the bean pot and stir...Adjust seasonings and Enjoy!!

Tips for Perfect Green Beans and New Potatoes:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Wash the green beans thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris.
  • Trim the ends of the green beans. This will remove the tough ends and make the beans more visually appealing.
  • Cook the green beans and new potatoes together in a single pot. This will save time and energy, and it will also help the flavors of the two vegetables to meld together.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid. You can use water, broth, or even white wine to cook the green beans and new potatoes. The cooking liquid will add flavor to the vegetables.
  • Season the green beans and new potatoes with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, or herbs.
  • Cook the green beans and new potatoes until they are tender, but still slightly firm. You don't want to overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Serve the green beans and new potatoes hot. You can garnish the vegetables with parsley or chives, if desired.
