Jeff's Southern Style Green Beans

Posted: Updated:

Ingredients

  • 2-4 lbs. green beans (depends on # of people being served)
  • 1/2 stick salted butter (may substitute olive oil, margarine or combination)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 small/medium size ham hock (may substitute a cottage butt of equal size, although the final product is not as flavorful)
  • salt and pepper to taste (I use NO salt except for the salted butter, the pepper is a 5-pepper blend which includes Allspice)

Directions

  1. In large pot, melt salted butter (or combination) over medium-high heat 
  2. Add garlic, onion, and celery and saute until opaque (about 4-5 minutes)
  3. Fill pot with hot water, return to heat and bring to a boil
  4. Add beans and ham hock, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 3+ hours
  5. Bon Appetit!

    Everyone's sauce recipe is different. This one is more Sicilian and was handed down from my grandparents. The key is no exact measurements just flavor with ingredients below to taste.  In a large pot
