Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans, and any strings that may be present.
- Blanch the green beans: This step is optional, but it helps to preserve the color and crispness of the beans. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Cook the ham: You can use leftover ham, or cook fresh ham for this recipe. To cook fresh ham, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the ham in a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Sauté the garlic: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the green beans and ham to the skillet: Once the garlic is fragrant, add the green beans and ham to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans are heated through.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
