A farm-food classic, but low in fat and perfectly suited to today's lighter diets. Not a soup, not a stew, but a one-pot meal that stays good on those busy days when everyone has to eat on a different schedule. Ingredients:
2 cups ham, diced |
2 lbs white potatoes |
1 -2 lb fresh green beans or 1 -2 lb frozen green beans |
1 onion (optional) |
water |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cube the potatoes, peeling first if desired.
2. String the beans and break into 2 inch pieces.
3. Coarsely chop the onion.
4. Place ham, potatoes, beans, black pepper, and onions into a wide, shallow pot or dutch oven.
5. Add enough water to come within a couple inches of the top of the food.
6. Bring the pot to a boil then simmer gently for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
7. This can be drippy so I suggest serving it in bowls or soup plates.
8. Cornbread makes a good accompaniment if you want to sop up the juices.
