SPICY PICKLED GREEN BEANS



Spicy Pickled Green Beans image

These snappy, spicy, garlicky beans are tasty on a relish tray, nestled alongside a hot dog, or used as a stirrer for a Bloody Mary. A blend of crushed red pepper and cayenne creates a well-rounded heat.

Provided by Marisa McClellan

Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
2 tablespoons pickling salt
6 cloves garlic, crushed
3 teaspoons dill seed
1 ½ teaspoons crushed red pepper
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed

Steps:

  • Submerge 3 pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
  • Combine vinegar, water, and pickling salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot and add 1/3 of crushed red and cayenne peppers to each. Pack green beans into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace.
  • Slowly pour hot brine over beans, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Slip in additional beans if space allows; check headspace again and add more brine if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from top.
  • Wipe jar rims, apply lids and bands (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
  • Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.

SPICY GREEN BEANS AND PORK, ASIAN STYLE



Spicy Green Beans and Pork, Asian Style image

My favorite side dish to order in Chinese restaurants. A chef gave me the ingredients and the tip of blistering the green beans. After some trial and error, I came up with this. My family and friends now demand that it be on the menu for gatherings - even if it doesn't go with the course! Can be made in advance. The amount of heat is determined by the amount of chili garlic sauce used.

Provided by Aspiring Chef Rita

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and dried well with paper towels
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 green onions, minced
½ pound ground pork
2 tablespoons Asian chili garlic sauce
¼ cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large wok or deep sided skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Carefully add the beans to the hot oil, and fry, stirring occasionally, until the beans are blistered, 3 to 5 minutes. Dip the beans out of the oil with a strainer, and quickly rinse them in cold water.
  • Remove the oil from the wok, but do not wipe the pan. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the wok over medium heat, and stir in the garlic, ginger, and green onion. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the ground pork. Cook and stir the pork, breaking it up as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chili garlic sauce, chicken broth, and soy sauce, and bring to a boil.
  • Mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl, stir into the pork mixture, and let simmer until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently stir the green beans into the pork sauce, heat through, and serve.
