Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons bacon grease (can substitute 2 tablespoons butter)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup chicken broth, plus more if needed
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt (can substitute regular table salt, use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
  • Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the beans. Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that run along the sides.
  • Blanch the beans. This will help them retain their color and crispness. 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 and tender. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Sauté the beans. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add your favorite sauce. You can use a variety of sauces to flavor your green beans, such as a simple vinaigrette, a creamy sauce, or a tomato-based sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or basil, can add a pop of color and flavor to your green beans.
