Re: How Cooked Do You Do Fresh Green Beans?

The very best way to cook beans, is in the pressure cooker---OMG---they are so tender and green--2 minutes and they are done.

Absolutely pole beans.  Kentucky Wonders are the ultimate. 

 

Water, ham and beans, cooked until they are no longer bright green and are not crisp.  Cook liquid down as the beans cook, serve in a pasta bowl with some very good fresh hot cornbread and butter.

 

If possible, have peach cobbler for your fruit serving afterward.

Thank you!  You just reminded me I have 2 ham bones from brown sugar spiral sliced hams in the freezer.  I'll glady share if you'd like one.

@ECBG   How about you put one in a pot of those great big dried white lima beans or green beans THEN call me?  Woman Very Happy

 

I love those great big dried lima beans when the juice gets thick and the skins fall off some of the beans and there's ham and hot cornbread. . . and TEA.  OH my!

I agree about Kentucky Wonder green beans but I haven't seen them in 20 years anywhere that I've lived.  They have or at least used to have the best flavor.

Re: How Cooked Do You Do Fresh Green Beans?

Cook in hot water, less than 10 minutes.  Like a little crunch.  Salt, pepper and sometimes a little butter.
