Green Beans with Poblano Peppers
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Green Beans with Poblano Peppers is my recipe of the day with Farmer’s Market Week. I’ve been sharing recipes all week long and will continue through tomorrow. And hopefully a few others on empty days if I don’t go awol.
These braised green beans are typical of something I might make with a homestyle supper. Being very much like southern braised green beans which I do in many ways.
This has country bacon in it because…it was in the fridge. Country bacon is typical in Amish country, along with the also-salty country ham. It makes great seasoning. If you are going to have it for breakfast it probably likes a soak since it is salt cured, but it is fine for something that needs salt anyway, like veggies.
Poblanos are wonderful as peppers. A bit spicier than bell peppers and with better flavor.
The beans braise for a bit to be tender so don’t expect a crispier bean- these are truly southern style. They are soft like veggies in a stew would be soft. Lots of pot juice there too–bake up some cornbread to soak it up. Not just a southern thing. My MIL would never have dreamt of wasting veggie broth and she lived lifelong in the great white north of Wisconsin.
And pardon my spoon- it’s my favorite and has seen many days in the bottom of a fiery wok. At least it has never caught on fire, but like a cookbook splattered with food love spots, the wood here shows my love for it. I did buy some new ones but nah. The wood doesn’t feel the same.
