Slow-Cooked Country Green Beans image

While the cooking time may seem extremely long, this is an old-fashioned Southern means of cooking vegetables. When cooked this way, the beans are served with their "pot liquor" and cornbread to sop it up.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped yellow onions

Steps:

  • Add the oil in a medium, heavy saucepan. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add the ham hocks, garlic, and beans.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the beans were still too crunchy. I'll have to cook them for longer next time.

The beans were a little overcooked for my liking, but the flavor was still good.

These beans were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.
