Ingredients
Green Beans with New Potatoes
3 lbs. Fresh green beans
1/4 lb. Salt pork, sliced
1/4 cup bacon grease
2 cups chicken broth, plus more if needed
2-3 tsp. House Seasoning (recipe follows)
12 small red potatoes
1 onion, cut into slivers
1/2 stick unsalted butter, sliced
Ground black pepper
Instructions
Remove the ends from the beans. Snap the beans in 2 pieces, place in
A colander, wash, and set aside to drain. Meanwhile, in a large cast
Iron Dutch oven, lightly brown the salt pork in the bacon grease over
Medium heat, turning often, for approximately 10 minutes. Toss the
Green beans into the pot, stirring them with a wooden spoon to coat
Well with the pork fat. Add the broth and House Seasoning. Cook
Over medium-low heat, covered tightly, for approximately 30 minutes,
Or until the beans are half done.
While the beans are cooking, peel a center strip from each new potato
With a potato peeler. At the end of 30 minutes, add the potatoes and
Onion to the beans; add 1/4 cup more broth, if needed. Cook, covered
Tightly, until the potatoes are tender, approximately 25-30 minutes,
Periodically checking the pot to make sure a small amount of liquid
Remains. When the potatoes are tender, tilt the lid slightly, off to
The side of the pot and continue to cook until the green beans are
Wilted, approximately 15 minutes. While cooking, add the butter and
Season with pepper.
HOUSE SEASONING:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container for
Up to 6 months.
