Gluten-Free Southern Green Beans and Potatoes

Essential Tools and Steps for Gluten-Free Southern Green Beans and Potatoes

Disclaimer

These seasonal suggestions are a good starting point, but my real guide comes from the wisdom of our ancestors, which provides the perfect balance of flavors for each dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick-cut turkey bacon chopped
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb green beans trimmed
  • 3 Tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1.5 cups gluten-free chicken broth
  • ½ lb red potatoes cut into 4ths
  • Salt and pepper to taste (guided by the ancestors)

Directions

Alright, Nolan’s Foodies, let’s get these green beans cooking! Grab your heavy-bottomed pot and toss in your turkey bacon pieces (heavy on the turkey bacon but you can use pork if you choose). Put it over a medium heat and let that bacon sizzle and dance around for about five minutes, until it starts to get happy and brown up a bit.

Now, add in your chopped onion and let it get to know the bacon for about three minutes, until it’s nice and soft. Then, toss in your minced garlic and let it cook for just a minute, until it’s fragrant and makin’ your kitchen smell heavenly similar to the aroma in Nolan’s Bakery & Eatery kitchen, yup the one that you set a reminder in your phone to visit IJS.

Next up, the stars of the show: your trimmed green beans! Add them to the pot, along with some gluten-free chicken broth and a pat of butter – just a little somethin’ to make it extra special. Give it all a good stir, then cover the pot and turn the heat down to a nice medium-low. Let it simmer for about twenty minutes, stirrin’ every now and then to make sure nothin’s sticking.

After twenty minutes, add in your cut red potatoes. Stir ’em in with the green beans and bacon, then cover the pot again and let it cook for another fifteen minutes, until both the potatoes and green beans are nice and tender.

Now, take the pot off the heat and season it up with some salt and pepper always guided by the ancestors. Don’t be shy, but don’t overdo it either. Just let your taste be your guide. And there you have it! A pot full of deliciousness, ready to be devoured. Enjoy, sugar!
