LOUISIANA GREEN BEANS (CREOLE RECIPE FOR ZWT-9)
Found at a cooking-by-country (or region) website, just reading this recipe took me back decades to a time growing up when we would pick beans from the garden & cook them until soft w/a combo of onion w/ham or bacon. I never cared when the main-course was as long as I could have a HUGE plate of those green beans. If it was my choice to make, I would definitely dbl this recipe! Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Green Beans: Opt for vibrant green, tender beans with no blemishes or wilting. Fresher beans will deliver the best flavor and texture.
- Soak Tasso Ham: Soaking the tasso ham in water or milk before cooking helps to reduce its saltiness and enhance its flavor.
- Use Good Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds a delicate, fruity flavor to the dish. If you don't have extra virgin olive oil, you can use regular olive oil.
- Cook Tasso Ham First: Cooking the tasso ham before adding the green beans allows it to release its smoky, savory flavors into the oil.
- Don't Overcook the Green Beans: Green beans should be cooked until tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooking will result in limp, bland beans.
- Season to Taste: Always taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to suit your preference.
- Serve Immediately: Green beans with tasso ham are best served hot or warm. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
