how do you make home grown green beans on the stove?

Answer 1

just put them in a pot and make sure they are covered in water and boil then the longer you boil them the softer they will get so it depends how you like them...when they are done drain the water off and put some butter and salt on them

Answer 2

My sweetie's parents own a farm with a HUGE garden, so I do fresh green beans a couple of times a week when they are in season. Clean beans by snapping ends off & peeling off the "string". In a medium pan, snap beans in 1/3's & add enough water to cover. Add in a couple of slices of fatback ( available in the meat department or ask the butcher),1 onion sliced into medium pieces, a couple cloves finely chopped garlic, fresh ground peppar, garlic salt & 1/2 stick butter. Bring to almost boil, then lower heat & simmer a couple of hours, adding water if needed to keep covered. Drain most of the liquid off, leaving a little in the bottom & serve with homemade cornbread!!

Answer 4

Trim the ends and wash the beans and cut into smaller pieces if you like and boil in lightly salted water and when just tender drain and serve with melted butter and some salt and pepper.

Answer 5

1. rinse beans in a colander
2. snap the points off the ends, and remove the stringy "spine", if any; halve if you like
3. rinse again
4. heat a frying pan on medium
5. add a little butter, olive oil or saved bacon grease, or fry a couple of pieces of bacon, diced (leave in pan)
6. saute' the beans for about five to seven minutes, tossing or stirring frequently.

the worst thing you can do to any vegetable is over-cook it, or boil it to mush. my hubbie likes to saute' string beans in olive oil and season them with Lawry's Season Salt, but I prefer butter, salt & pepper.

my mom's favorite is a hit at potlucks, and she found it in the Augusta Master's (golf) Cookbook; a link for identical recipe is attached:

Answer 6

I like to chop a clove of garlic, open a can of plum/italien tomatos tip them in add basil then put in chopped green beans and cook until the beans are tender, a great side dish

Answer 7

Get the pressure canner heating up
Rinse out your pressure canner, put the rack plate in the bottom, and fill it to a depth of 4 inches with hot tap water. (of course, follow the instruction that came with the canner, if they are different). Put it on the stove over low heat, with the lid OFF of it, just to get it heating up for later on.

Put the beans in.

Answer 8

you don't make home grown green beans on the stove-u grow them-at home,huh! Hah, just felt to give trouble.

Answer 9

Wash first then place in a pot big enough for beans to be covered.Use equal amounts water and chicken broth to cover.Put in one large pinch of salt and pepper,one slice of bacon, one1/8 tsp of garlic (minced) and two outer slices of onion.bring to a boil and let boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.this is grandma's recipe so you know its good..

Answer 10

Well string and break them if you haven't already. Then wash them. Put them in a pot fill with water. Add salt and pepper to your taste, a teaspoon of olive oil and teaspoon of butter. Put the lid on and cook until done. Two hours if you like them really done. May need to add extra water while cooking them. Will evaporate while cooking. Or for a southern unhealthy version add bacon grease of slices of abcon or ham. They are good with small red potatoes cooked in them too.

Answer 11

Put enough water over them so that they are covered. Then add about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease and about 1 tbsp of salt to season them. Cook them over low to medium heat. Check often to make sure the water has not boiled down enough to burn them. Let them cook for probably 2-3 hours. You want them to cook down but not enough to burn them. Hope this helps. I am just a country cook so thats how I cook them....:-)
