Cooking Instructions
- 1
***I use a pressure cooker for my hamhocks..... because I want them good and tender....
- 2
put broth or water, hamhocks, dash of vinegar, salt, pepper, 1/2 the chopped onion in the pressure cooker for 45-50 min.... I ONLY USE AN ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER....
- 3
*** if using salt pork cut into chunks and boil for about 20 min... just to make a broth
- 4
*** if using ham I use bouillon cubes to make broth or low sodium carton broth. lat the ham chunks on green beans.....in place of laying on the hamhocks
- 5
while hamhocks are cooking I put green beans in a colander and run lukewarm water over them... for 1-2 minutes.... then leave it sit until hamhocks get done....
- 6
put baking drippings in heavy bottom pan (I've used veggie oil before).... set on med and then add the remaining onion and garlic... skillet only needs to be warm when adding onion and garlic... turn skillet up to med/high and when hot add green beans after 3-4 minutes and 'fry'. make sure they all get oil on them..-
- 7
**** ONCE HAMHOCKS ARE DONE COOKING.... QUICK RELEASE THE PRESSURE IN YOUR PRESSURE COOKER.
- 8
using a soup scoop... put 2 scoops of broth from your pressure cooker over the green beans.... turn fire up until it starts boiling.... then turn back to med heat...

add vinegar and stir well...... I have pepper vinegar I made.... and put a tablespoon in my green beans..

I basically just tried making this by recalling the flavor from memory.Leaving the beans in the broth after cooking will make them very salty, so be careful! If you want it to be spicy, add some Tabasco sauce! Recipe by Inscore

Homestyle Green Beans Homestyle Green Beans
This is hands down my favorite way to eat green beans, and nothing beats using fresh. Unless using your pressure cooker, cooking fresh green beans this way takes quite some time, but is still super easy.Additionally, this may seem like a lot of salt, but you're seasoning the water to flavor the beans. They don't soak up much water, and you won't be eating/drinking the water so it's all good.

Southern smoky green beans Southern smoky green beans
I love a good crisp tender sautéed green bean but this isn’t that. This is old fashioned southern smoky green beans done so easy it’s almost embarrassing. It starts with regular old canned green beans but tastes slow cooked. Make enough for tmrw because it’s better the next day. If you reeeeeally wanna make this southern, add small new potatoes (small red potatoes).

I’m hoping my garden having buds will show me more of their fresh garden hauls. I know it’s early yet. They inspire me with their beautiful veg!!These are so good and fresh and very calming to snap beans. We used to do it when I was little in Louisiana. Shucking corn too. It takes very little time to make these. I should do it more often. -
