Growing up, Mom always made green beans with a little ham, bacon, or new potatoes; in any combination ~ or just plain bacon grease. I still like them prepared any of those ways, but this new version makes me happy too!
The green beans are braised in chicken broth that’s doctored up with garlic cloves and thyme. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a little salt and pepper, and enjoy this dish that is a Martha Stewart recipe.
In my way of thinking, you
can never have enough fresh green beans in the summer time ~ I hope you try
this quick braise!
Braised Green Beans
Ingredients:
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
5 peeled cloves garlic
1 pound trimmed green
beans
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
Extra-virgin olive oil
Lemon slices
Method:
In a large skillet, bring
broth and garlic cloves to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Add green beans and thyme
and cover.
Cook until desired amount
of tenderness.
Season with salt and
pepper.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Serve with lemon slices.
Delicious!!! I wonder how this would be with a
sprinkling of shredded nutty, salty Parmesan over the top?

lovely way to have beans looks wonderful
These beans look fantastic! A great recipe to use with the beans that are growing in my garden. It's only a matter of time before we're full of these and looking for new recipes to enjoy them with.
Pam, Thanks for this alternate way to serve green beans. I'm always looking for recipes that encourage my better half to eat her veggies. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
I have just brought a whole lot of beans in from the garden. Will try this out, thanks Diane
Sounds like a great way to prepare the beans we picked up at the Farmer's Market.

Oooh.. this just gave me a great idea for the next time I grill green beans....do all of this except put it in an aluminum foil packet and grill! YUM!
My daughter would devour these for sure.
Torviewtoronto, thanks! They're good too!

green beans are one of my favorite side dishes....and when they're FRESH...WOW! I can see where the extra seasonings would make this a fantastic dish...
Green beans fresh! amazing they look awesome!
I have gotten into a vegetable rut...this yummy bean dish certainly isn't difficult and packs a delicious punch of flavor! Thanks for sharing, Pam!
Shug, mine too! I love them when they're fresh, the best! Have a good rest of the week.
Curt, thanks! Fresh green beans---another great thing about summer!
Lizzy, this recipe is a little different for green beans and being easier makes it even better!
You can't go wrong with fresh green beans! I like your idea of adding Parmesan cheese. You are a very creative cook!
looks great
This sounds like a delicious way to cook beans Pam and we'll give it a try with our next picking of filet beans. "you can never have enough fresh green beans" is our neighbors philosophy as well and they can enough to have them a couple of times a week year round.
Linda, thanks! I agree---you can't go wrong!
Adam, thanks! They're good!
Larry, wow! And I thought I helped can a lot of beans years ago. But, you can never have enough fresh green beans...
Green beans are the one veggie I don't really eat enough of. Love this preparation of them!
I love green beans, this looks like another way to enjoy them. Usually I just steam them.
Joanne, thanks! Have a great day!
DA, I love them too! I don't think I've ever eaten them steamed and will have to try it. Thanks for mentioning it!
Hi Pam,
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit my blog the other day, and your kind comment. My little cub is growing up so fast!
These green beans look great. And I love that they're vegetarian. My husband is French and really loves his hericot verts, plus I have some growing in my garden. I'm sure they're super tasty. =)
I definitely agree, Pam...one can never have too many fresh green beans when they are available in season. These must be delicious cooked with chicken broth.

Ree, thanks! Hericot verts sounds great to me! And, your babe is a doll!
Judy, thanks! The recipe is a delicious twist for the beans!
