Best Uncle Bills Beets String Beans In A Cream Sauce Recipes
CREAMY STRING BEANS AND MUSHROOMS
I thoroughly enjoy young, fresh string beans. They are best when used within 3 to 7 days after picking, but best when freshly picked. I also love mushrooms and combined them with the string beans to make a tasty meal combination. Many years ago, we grew different varieties of beans and my mother cooked them in different ways.

UNCLE BILL'S CREAMED YOUNG BEETS AND TOPS
Oh my, but this recipe goes back to my young years when we lived in Alberta, Canada. We grew large gardens and had many varieties of veggies. Because I was a vegetarian in those days, my mother would cook this beet recipe for me. Young beets with 6 to 8 inch beet tops are the best

Steps:
- Snip off the thin portion of the young beet root and discard.
- Wash the small beet with the beet tops well in cold water.
- Place the beet tops in a large cooking pot.
- Cover with cold water and bring to boil.
- Cover and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes or until the greens just start to wilt.
- Immediately remove the beets into a large frying pan using a slotted spoon.
- Add butter and fry on medium-high heat for about 4 minutes, stirring often.
- Now add the whipping cream, salt and pepper.
- Stir to coat beets and continue to fry until the whipping cream is reduced and starts to thicken into a creamy sauce, about 3 minutes.
- Serve along with your dinner meal.
- You may also use larger fresh beet top greens, but remove most of the stem from the leaves and discard.
- If desired, you can also use larger beets, but firstly peel them and cut them into very small cubes.
- Cook the cubed beets in water for about 4 minutes before adding the beet greens.
- Then continue to cook for another 4 minutes.
- Proceed in the same method as for the young beets.
- This method also works well for Swiss Chard.

STRING BEANS WITH SHALLOTS
Steps:
- Blanch the string beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for 1 1/2 minutes only. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water.
- Heat the butter and oil in a very large saute pan (12-inch diameter) or large pot and saute the shallots on medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned. Drain the string beans and add to the shallots with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, tossing well. Heat only until the beans are hot.
- If you're using regular string beans, blanch them for about 3 minutes, until they're crisp-tender.
