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.

Easy Recipes for Cookouts and BBQ's
Everybody enjoys a BBQ or a cookout. It's a great time to get together with family and friends enjoy great weather, outdoor entertaining, great company and great food. Part of the fun of a BBQ or cook out for our family and friends is sharing homemade dishes. Everybody brings something different, along with the recipe.

Green Beans with Ginger Butter
A fabulous Thanksgiving or Christmas side dish. One of my very favorite side dishes for Thanksgiving. My family loves it. It's quick and easy and I guarantee you'll get rave reviews. I cut this recipe out of a Gourmet magazine many years ago. Green beans with ginger butter Salt 2 pounds haricots verts or other green beans, trimmed 3-inch-long piece fresh ginger 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Finely grated lemon zest from 1/2 lemon.

Holiday green bean casserole recipe
Everyone's favorite holiday green bean recipe. Anyone who cooks, and everyone who has ever eaten a Thanksgiving dinner is familiar with that old favorite the green bean casserole. What could be more simple, frozen or canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup and canned dried onions. Just try to find canned dried onions within three days of Thanksgiving in any foodstore - good luck. Campbell's came up with this creamy/crunchy concoction in 1955.
