A tasty green bean treat.

As with other recipes there are many variations of fried green beans. Actually the second one we've posted seems more like true "fried" green beans to us, but the first recipe works well too. If we use bacon fat in the first recipe we don't add the lemon juice/zest.

 

 
















Fried Green Beans

2 tablespoons olive oil (we prefer bacon fat for taste)
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut to preferred length (we like 'em long)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch garlic salt
Salt & pepper to taste (watch the salt if you use bacon fat)
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Heat the olive oil/fat and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add green beans, lemon juice and garlic salt. Cook until the beans are tender but still a bit crunchy, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Salt & pepper to taste. Add lemon zest over top.


Deep Fried Green Beans

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut to preferred length
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
Oil for deep frying

Wash and trim green beans. Pat dry. Mix the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in bowl. Dip the green beans in buttermilk and then roll in the flour mixture. Deep fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
