We did the usual for Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone picks one side dish that they must have and then there's turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. Sweetie always wants candied yams, I always want green beans, and mom always wants more stuffing, which would be why she cooked an 18 pound bird for just the 3 of us.
Mom tried something new with the green beans and they were super yummy. She gave me the recipe and I made it at home last night. It was good; but of course mom's was better. She got the recipe from someone else, so I don't really know where this originated, otherwise I'd link to it.
Roasted-Garlic Greens Beans
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 12 garlic cloves, peeled and halved lengthwise (Yeah, baby. That says 12)
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp sugar
- 1 ½ pounds green beans, trimmed
- 3 Tbsp water
- 4 tsp red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper
Directions
- Microwave garlic, oil, and sugar, uncovered, in a small microwave-safe bowl until garlic is softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Carefully transfer 1 Tbsp of oil from the mixture to a large nonstick skillet. Reserve remaining garlic mixture.
- Heat skillet over medium-high until oil is shimmering. Add green beans and water and cook, covered, until bright green, about 3 minutes. Add reserved garlic mixture to the pan; do not stir. Continue to cook, covered, until beans are almost tender, about 3 minutes. Remove lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are browned in spots and garlic is golden, 2–3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
