1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
garlic powder to taste
onion powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil

  • In a stainless steel pot over medium-high heat, combine green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until the beans begin to sweat. Remove lid and stir occasionally until beans are tender.
  • When the beans and spices have begun to 'burn' on the bottom of the pan, which will lend a grilled flavor, stir in the olive oil and turn off heat. Cover, and let stand a few minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the 'burnt' spices. Beans should have a dark, caramel color, but not black.

PEGGI'S FRIED GREEN BEANS



PEGGI'S FRIED GREEN BEANS image

Hey.....I'm from the South; what more can I say? We fry everything! And...we use bacon in everything! You can use fresh, or canned green beans for this recipe & you will notice the difference over just green beans. The main picture is from fresh green beans (no mushrooms that day)& the other one is from canned green beans. They taste equally as good.

Provided by Peggi Anne Tebben @cookiequeen

Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 5

- 6-8 slices thick bacon, cut in 3/4" pieces
- 1/2 onion, slivered
- 1 can mushroom pieces, drained or a handfull of fresh ones, sliced
- 1 quart canned green beans or a mess of fresh ones
- salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Cook bacon & onions in skillet until about 1/2 of the way browned.
  • Add the mushrooms & continue cooking until all is about 2/3 of the way brown. Salt & pepper this.
  • Next, add the green beans & turn heat to low & cover skillet. Leave it alone for about 5 minutes & then you can stir & continue cooking until all is slightly browned.
  • Remove lid & kick up the heat to medium & continue cooking until the beans are done & have a crisper brown , but not burned look. About 30 minutes total. Note: Fresh beans will take a little longer. Also, if you use canned green beans, no need to salt the green beans, but if you use fresh, you can salt them the last few minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose green beans that are fresh, young, and tender. Avoid beans that are limp, bruised, or have brown spots.
  • Trim the beans by removing the ends. You can also cut them into smaller pieces if desired.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. This will help to preserve their color and crunch.
  • Drain the beans and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan when you fry them.
  • Season the beans with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. You can also add a little bit of oil to help them crisp up.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the fried green beans immediately. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Fried green beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect fried green beans every time.
