From the cookbook, "The Glory of Southern Cooking" by James Villas. This is pretty much exactly how my grandma made beans straight from the garden.

Time 2h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs fresh green beans (do not use haricot vert)
1 ham hock (see note below)
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
12 small red potatoes

Steps:

  • Note: The recipe called for a 1-inch chunk of streak-o-lean (lean salt pork), but the website doesn't recognize. You can use streak-o-lean if you can find it, ham hock, pork belly, or bacon.
  • Pinch off the ends of the beans, and if necessary, remove any strings. Snap the beans into 1-1/2 inch pieces, rinse well in a colander and transfer to a large pot.
  • Add the cooking meat, salt and pepper and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer the beans slowly until tender but still slightly firm, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the potatoes to remove any grit, cut away a strip of peel around the center of each with a vegetable peeler.
  • Add the potatoes to the beans, stir and continue to simmer until tender, about 30 minutes, adding more water if needed.
  • Drain and serve hot in a large bowl.

POLE BEANS AND NEW POTATOES



Pole Beans and New Potatoes image

Simple yummy southern tasting side dish. Pole beans are larger than everyday green beans (Kentucky wonder is a favorite variety). Try to find tender beans that do not have a heavy "string"; they will cook in the same amount of time as the potatoes.

KENTUCKY WONDER BEANS

These are an old soul food heirloom favorite in the garden and what I remember eating frequently as a child. I grew the pole variety this summer and they are super prolific/productive. They taste like nothing you buy in a store - super meaty, tender, long-lasting flavor. And now they are a favorite in my own family. The beans will cook in this semi-salty broth, and won't be as salty as is the broth.
