My mom's recipe. A really good pot of beans. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1 large onion, chopped |
2 -4 lbs roma green beans |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1/4 lb country ham or 1/4 lb ham hocks or 1/4 lb bacon |
1 -2 cup chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Wash the beans, remove the tips, and break all beans in half. Set aside.
2. Melt butter in large saucepan or dutch oven. Add onion and saute until transluscent.
3. Add the broken beans, salt and pepper to taste and saute. When the beans begin to soften, add the ham or bacon, and continue to saute for 1-2 minutes.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until beans are soft.
