Green Beans!

After a very slow start the green beans are finally producing.  The tomatoes keep ripening and we are getting into the rhythm of harvesting on Sunday and Wednesday evenings.  I thought I would share some favorite green bean recipes,although nothing beats fresh steamed beans.  Here is a family favorite.  ( this recipe was also featured on the food channel.) Not an everynight dish but definately a treat!

                                                   Green Beans with Carmelized Onions
  • 8 ounces bacon, chopped into 1 inch pieces
  • 1/2 onion, sliced thinly
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 12 ounces green beans

Preparation

  1. Cook bacon until crisp in skillet, drain bacon, and set aside, reserving bacon grease.
  2. In skillet with bacon grease, sauté onions with sugar, salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar until tender. Set aside.
  3. Steam or blanch green beans until tender, and toss with onion mixture and reserved bacon pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
