SUMMER'S BEST BBQ BEANS



Summer's Best BBQ Beans image

Quick & Easy. Found this in Better Homes & Gardens (June 07). Great side dish for a picnic, BBQ or when you're in the mood for a tasty bean dish. For sweet and smoky flavor, pineapple and molasses are substituted for the familiar bacon and sugar. I have also made this without the pineapple and added a 14 oz can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes..we enjoyed it that way too; this recipe you can tinker with and still enjoy the results.

GRILLED SUMMER BEANS WITH GARLIC AND HERBS



Grilled Summer Beans With Garlic and Herbs image

Green beans don't number among the vegetables we normally grill - eggplants, onions, peppers, zucchini - but there's something about the high, dry heat of the fire and the gentle scent of smoke that heightens their snap and natural sweetness. But how do you grill a vegetable so slender it seems doomed to fall between the bars of the grate? The secret is to use a meshed grill basket, which lets enough fire through to char the beans and enough smoke through to perfume them. The New York chef Missy Robbins grills Romano beans (a.k.a. flat or pole beans), whose shape maximizes the surface area exposed to the fire. If unavailable, substitute conventional green beans or haricots verts. The Italian inspiration for this dish is evident in the garlic, basil, mint and extra-virgin olive oil, but grilling the beans over a wood fire, instead of boiling, is uniquely and distinctly American. If necessary, you can use charcoal rather than wood; a gas grill is fine if that's what you have.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 pounds Romano beans (a.k.a. flat or pole beans) or other summer green beans, ends snapped and strings removed
Sea salt and ground black pepper
Leaves from 3 sprigs fresh basil
Leaves from 3 sprigs fresh mint

Steps:

  • Build a hot wood fire in your grill. (You can do the same with charcoal. If you're using a gas grill, place a few hardwood chunks under the grate over one or two of the burners. Heat one burner on high heat and additional burners on medium heat, adjusting the heat as necessary.) Brush and oil the grill grate.
  • Combine 1/4 cup oil and the garlic in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let cool. Stir in red-pepper flakes, lemon zest and parsley.
  • Place beans in a large bowl with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to mix.
  • Arrange beans directly on the grill or in a wire grill basket. Grill beans until charred and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes, turning with tongs. (You may need to work in two batches, depending on the size of your grill.)
  • Return hot beans to the mixing bowl and stir in garlic-parsley oil. Squeeze in lemon juice. Stir in basil and mint leaves and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: This recipe calls for pinto beans, but you can use any type of dried bean you like. Just be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe give the beans a delicious, smoky flavor. Feel free to experiment with different spices to create your own unique blend.
  • Don't skimp on the bacon: The bacon adds a lot of flavor to the beans, so don't be afraid to use a good amount. You can also use turkey bacon or pancetta if you prefer.
  • Cook the beans slowly: The beans need to simmer for at least an hour, so be patient. The longer you cook them, the more flavorful they will be.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: BBQ beans are a great side dish for any summer cookout. Serve them with grilled chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, or ribs.

Conclusion:

These BBQ beans are the perfect side dish for any summer cookout. They're easy to make and packed with flavor. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy some delicious BBQ beans!
