QUICK-BRAISED GREENS AND BEANS WITH BACON



Quick-Braised Greens and Beans With Bacon image

These stewed greens develop deep flavor thanks to a quick onion-garlic broth and bacon, used two ways. Sliced bacon is cooked until tender, blending in but imparting its smoky, porky essence, while crisp bacon morsels are sprinkled on top for a salty, crunchy hit. This 30-minute dish is great spooned over rice or polenta, or alongside buttery cornbread for a hearty weeknight meal, but you could also top it with an egg to bring it into brunch territory.

Provided by Genevieve Ko

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bunches dark and sturdy leafy greens, like collards, kale or mustard greens (about 1 pound)
4 bacon slices
1 large red onion (about 1 pound), finely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
2 (15-ounce) cans red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the greens: Cut the tough stems out of the greens and discard. Stack the leaves, roll tightly crosswise and slice into 3/4-inch-wide ribbons. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with cold water and swish to remove grit. Transfer greens to a colander, cleaning them a second time if the water remaining in the bowl is visibly dirty.
  • Cook 2 bacon slices in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Meanwhile, cut the remaining 2 bacon slices crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
  • Add the 1/4-inch bacon strips to the hot bacon fat and cook, stirring, until the fat in the bacon strips starts to render, about 1 minute. Add the onion and a pinch each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until golden brown around the edges, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sage and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the stock, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer, 5 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium, add the greens, season with salt and pepper and stir until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Cover and cook until tender with a little bite, about 3 minutes.
  • Uncover and add the beans and hot sauce. Stir until the beans are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among serving dishes and crumble the cooked bacon slices on top. Serve with more hot sauce.

TANGY GREEN BEANS



Tangy Green Beans image

This is such a quick and easy recipe and is so tasty. I just can't eat plain green beans after trying this.

Provided by Chris from Kansas

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) can cut green beans
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar or 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a skillet, heat beans; drain.
  • Add butter, sugar, vinegar and salt.
  • Heat through, stirring occasionally.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
  • Blanch the green beans. Blanching helps to preserve the beans' color and nutrients. 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. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Cook the bacon. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  • Make the sauce. In the same skillet that you cooked the bacon, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine the ingredients. Add the green beans, bacon, and almonds to the sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately. Tangy bacon green beans are best served immediately.

Conclusion:

Tangy bacon green beans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings. The beans are tender and flavorful, and the bacon and almonds add a nice crunch. The tangy sauce is the perfect finishing touch.
