Ingredients:
Green Beans, white half-runner 6 cups (fully prepared=string, wash and cut into small pieces)
Bellucci Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1 tbsp), 1 tbsp
Kirkland Fully-Cooked Bacon (2 slices), chopped
Salt Pork, 1 oz sliced & cut into small pieces or cubes
Chicken Broth, organic free range Pacific Natural, 12 oz
Onions, Sweet Vidalia, 1/2 Raw medium, peeled and chopped
Sea Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions
It takes some time to string and snap these delicious green beans, but the trouble is so worth it.
In large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add salt pork, onion & chopped bacon. Saute about 4 minutes. Add green beans and chicken broth; stir. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 60 minutes. Check every 10 minutes; gently stirring. Do not let the liquid totally evaporate, there should be at least 1/3-1/2 cup of liquid at all times in the pot. Remove the lid towards the end of cooking time and cook down liquid somewhat but not dry. Beans should be tender and hold their shape --not disintegrated at all. Salt and pepper to taste. Let beans cool slightly before serving. Serve with Kentucky cornbread as a main dish with sliced garden tomatoes and extra sweet onions. White Silver Queen corn on the cob is another excellent choice.
