LOUISIANA GREEN BEANS (CREOLE RECIPE FOR ZWT-9)



Louisiana Green Beans (Creole Recipe for ZWT-9) image

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!

Time 45m

Yield 4 4 ounce servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 slices streaky bacon (cut into bite-sized pieces)
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb fresh green beans (left whole)
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon creole seasoning
salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a frying pan. Add the bacon, onion, garlic plus parsley & sauté until onion is soft & golden brown.
  • Add the beans, salt to taste preference & Creole seasoning. Reduce heat to low & cook gently for about 30 min or until beans are soft (Add a sml amt of water if needed to keep the beans from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • HINT: Try pairing these beans w/my also newly entered Creole Meatloaf recipe & your favorite thick mashed potatoes. Yum!

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.
