GREEN BEANS WITH POTATOES AND HAM



Green Beans with Potatoes and Ham image

You can make the ham broth and shred the ham hocks a day ahead. The next day, reheat to simmering, and cook the potatoes and green beans.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 meaty ham hocks
1 onion, peeled and quartered through root
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1 celery stalk, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 jalapeno or serrano chile, intact with a split down 1 side
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 1/2 quarts water
1 pound small red potatoes, halved
2 pounds green beans, stem ends trimmed, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Combine ham hocks, onion, garlic, celery, thyme, bay leaf, chile, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Transfer ham hocks to a plate. Discard chile, and add potatoes to pot; simmer until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • When ham hocks are cool enough to handle, pull meat off bones (discard bones), shred into bite-size pieces, and return to pot. Add green beans, and return to a simmer. Cover, and cook until beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Season with pepper. Serve vegetables and meat with a slotted spoon; reserve broth for another use. If storing leftovers, store in broth.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh green beans. If using frozen green beans, thaw them before cooking.
  • To save time, you can cook the green beans and ham ahead of time. Simply reheat them before serving.
  • If you don't have any ham on hand, you can substitute bacon or sausage.
  • Add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the pan for extra flavor.
  • Serve the green beans and ham with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Green beans and ham is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
