Skillet Green Beans

on May 27, 2010 · 5 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This week in our garden I harvested almost a pound of fresh green beans!  So, I incorporated it into my dinner this week. Now, I used bacon fat. Yes, I know that isn’t real healthy, but it makes such a difference in the taste. You could use olive or coconut oil for a healthier option.

Another thing I did was use a seasoned iron skillet.  You can just use any skillet if you don’t have one.

Skillet Green Beans

1 lb fresh green beans, cleaned and ends cut
1-2 tablespoons bacon fat (you can sub with olive, coconut or canola oil)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, diced
1-14.5 oz can chicken broth
handful of cherry tomatoes, halved

Heat skillet on medium heat, and melt bacon fat, saute garlic less than a minute.  Add onions and cook until transparent, about 3 more minutes. Add green beans and saute another 3-4 minutes.

Next add tomatoes and chicken broth. Simmer on low for about 20-25 minutes. The broth will cook out and leave you with just the good stuff.

Then you have perfect green beans!

    You could add some feta cheese crumbles at the end. Yummy.

    wow, green beans already! our garden isn’t there yet, hopefully in a couple of weeks. i got an early start this year but between the floods and the weird cold/hot/cold/hot weather, everything is slow for me.

    this dish looks delicious, i’m bookmarking for future reference, thank you!

    That top photo looks like it should be in a cookbook – yum! Green beans are so much better with garlic & spices. If you’ve never had it with sausage, that is also very good.

    We have made these green beans many many times. My son never would eat green beans, now he ask for me to fix these. I had to leave the tomatoes out, but he at least eats them. I use the bacon grease and it gives it such a good flavor. Thanks!!!!
