The first savory bite will have you craving for a second one. Watch this specialty disappear.
HARICOT VERT
Ingredients:
1 pound green beans, fresh
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons pimento, diced
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions:
Snap the ends of the green beans. Discard. In a medium skillet over low heat, combine butter and olive oil. Increase the heat to medium setting. Add garlic and onions. Cook one minute. Add green beans and cook one minute longer until they turn bright green. Immediately add chicken broth, pimento, seasoned salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to simmer and cover. Leave the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook for 25 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. The beans should be soft, yet slightly crisp. Bon Appétit!
Reminds me of the fabulous dry fried green beans in China Gail…

Gail, this recipe is so similar to one my Mom used to make, which she called “Mediterranean Green Beans”. The only thing different is she made “croutons” from a slice of toast to sprinkle on top. Such a great way with Green Beans!

I’ve made something similar that I bake in the oven. I think I will add sun dried tomato next time.
