HOW TO COOK FROZEN GREEN BEANS
Report
Fresh, green, succulent and delicious. Out of season, fresh frozen green beans are the VERY BEST option next to picked from the vine green beans that you’ll find. I’ll show you how with How to Cook Frozen Green Beans.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 lb of frozen green beans
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 3 Tbs butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop heat the chicken stock till boiling.
- Add the frozen green beans (thawed if possible for you).
- Bring the stock back to a boil and heat the frozen green beans stirring often for 5 minutes. (The idea is to steam the beans, not to boil them). Watch carefully that the chicken stock does not steam away. If it is starting to get low, add more.
- After a full 5 minutes, add the butter, garlic, onion, salt pepper, hot sauce, cider vinegar and sugar. Stir well and heat until butter is melted and beans are fully heated through.
Notes
- PRO TIPS:
- If you don’t have chicken stock, use an equal amount of water and a bouillon cube or water and a 1 teaspoon of chicken stock concentrate. Allow either to fully dissolve in the hot water before adding the beans.
- Vegetarian? Use vegetable stock or vegetable stock concentrate instead!
- In place of the butter, feel free to substitute vegetable oil, olive oil, oil of your choice or bacon grease.
- If you have fresh garlic or onions, feel free to use those, simply mince and add to the stock at the beginning of the recipe and allow to soften before adding beans.
- You will likely need to add salt and pepper at the end.
- Taste and if the beans are lacking flavor, add salt and pepper.
- If you don’t like hot sauce, it is fine to leave it off, but it does add flavor.
- Please add some type of acid, if not cider vinegar, then some other kind of vinegar or lemon juice.
- Beans are great with some bacon bits sprinkled on the top at the end if you have some.
- Almond slivers also make a nice touch, add them when you add the beans to the recipe.
