How to Cook Pan-Fried Green Beans
Fast, Easy, Delicious
Tired of putting your green beans in a pot and turning the temperature up? Me too. Is salt and pepper just not enough spice? Try this delicious recipe.
*This can be done with fresh snaps and/or store bought green beans in a can!
Ingredients
- A splash of Apple Cider Vinegar
- One per can (or est. equivalent for fresh greens) Beef Bouillon Cubes
- Salt and Pepper
- Onion Powder
- 1/3 Stick Butter or Margarine
Instructions
- Put your Beef Bouillon cubes in frying pan, along with a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar, and Salt and Pepper. Turn the temp. to Medium-High setting.
- Time to add the Green Beans! If using canned greens, only add 1/3 of the juice into your pan. If using two cans of greens, still ONLY use 1/3 of ONE can. If cooking fresh greens, add 1/2 cup of water.
- For 3-5 minutes, allow all ingredients to mix together by stirring occasionally. During this time, go ahead and add 1/3 stick of butter (more or less depending on your desired taste) and shake Onion Powder over the greens.
- After your Beef Bouillon Cubes have melted completely, put a lid over the frying pan. Let simmer, stirring occasionally. You will notice the greens may be sticking to the bottom of the pan. This means you must stir more frequently!
- At the end of this process, your greens should be slightly browned, firm, and ready to eat!
NOTE:
DO NOT be alarmed if beans have shrunk in size or are no longer intact. This is normal.
ALL INGREDIENTS and INSTRUCTIONS can be modified to suit your preferences.
Enjoy :)
