Easy Green Beans with Pork is always a go-to recipe for me when I don’t have fresh vegetables on hand. I only keep a few canned items in my pantry and green beans are one of them. I don’t like frozen green beans, they seem so watery, but I do like canned green beans in a pinch, and these really are delicious.
I like to use whole beans and I like the Libby’s Gourmet Whole Green Beans. https://libbys.com/product/gourmet-whole-green-beans. I served these the other day with my Cajun Seasoned Pork Roast: https://the2spoons.com/so-delicious-cajun-seasoned-roasted-pork/
Cooking from the Pantry: Taste like Fresh, Easy Green Beans with Pork
Here’s the recipe! Be sure you get Green Beans when you go grocery shopping!
Cooking from the Pantry, Green Beans with Pork
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans quality whole green beans
- 1/2 onion, diced 1/2
- 1/2 cup salt pork, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper
- 3-4 Thyme sprigs or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Saute the salt pork on medium heat in the two tablespoons oil until browned and the fat starts to render. Add the onions and cook a minute or two until translucent. Drain the juice of the two cans of beans into the pan with your salt pork, and add the water. Set the beans aside. Simmer about 30 minutes until your salt pork is tender. Add your beans back in along with the sprigs of fresh thyme and cook for an additional 10 minutes on medium. Cooking the pork ahead of time until it is tender flavors your juices and your beans will resemble fresh green beans.
