How do I cook fresh Green Beans?
There are many ways to prepare fresh Green Beans. Some people like to cut the ends off of green beans, others are just fine without doing so. It’s a matter of personal preference.
–To boil fresh Green Beans like I do in this recipe: I cut of the ends of my Green Beans and slice into 2 inch pieces. I then put the Green Beans into a large pot and boil until they are tender (which is typically between 5-8 minutes).
–To Saute Green Beans: Start by trimming the Green Beans to your preference. With the Green Beans add a Splash of Oil to a skillet on medium heat with desired spices and stir for about 5 minutes or until tender.
-To Steam. With Steaming basket place it into a large sauce pan with water filled level with the bottom of the steamer basket. Bring to a Boil. Add your Trimmed Green Beans to the steamer basket with the lid on, and steam for about 5 minutes or until tender.
Can you put raw bacon in green beans?
You want to make sure that you start the process of cooking the bacon. Cook the bacon until it is about half way cooked though and add the green beans in. The grease doesn’t have to be drained, it will help cook the green beans. I like my bacon more on the crispy side, so I cook the bacon pretty crispy and remove it while I am cooking the green beans. I add the bacon back in when the dish is finished.
