Fried Green Beans

RE: Fried Green Beans Post By ms.whippet (Guest Post) (07/08/2007) We grow French Green Beans in our garden so we've tried many tasty recipes, but in our house the overwhelming favorite recipe remains this: Into a large saute/fry pan which has been pre-heated to low/med. low, pour 2-4 tbsp. olive oil into the skillet and add 2-4 cloves of thinly sliced garlic. Saute the garlic slowly being very careful not to allow the garlic to brown. Once the garlic is soft, remove it from the oil and set the slices aside. Add the green beans to the oil and add a sprinkling of salt and lots of cracked pepper. Stir to coat the beans and cover. Stew down the beans slowly until desired tenderness, checking and turning often. Once crisp-tender, turn up the heat so beans can brown. Toss constantly until desired browning is reached. Pour in a bowl and garnish with the sauteed garlic. Enjoy! NOTE: The cooking method is what I would call stew-fried.... Stew down the vegetables slowly to caramelize, then ramp up the heat to get them nice and brown.

I will give you his recipe. He uses french cut green beans, drained. He puts two cans in a skillet with a little olive oil and sliced onions and a packet of equal. Fry it all together till onions start to carmelize. I hate green beans and have never ate them since I was little, but I eat this stuff up. I have tried it with real sugar and it wasnt good.

The first time I had them was with bacon grease with home canned green beans drained. They got some browned ones on and those tasted the best. Butter also works well and also regular cooking oil.

ASK HIM IF THEY ARE REALLY SOFT OR TENDER CRISP WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED COOKING. CONTACT ME AT BDWSWSWT (at) YAHOO.COM AND I CAN TELL YOU HOW TO FIX EITHER ONE, BUT TO EXPLAIN BOTH RIGHT NOW WOULD TAKE TOO LONG.

I totally drain the water and I sometimes put some chopped up bacon and I often add mushrooms. They're delicious.
