INSTRUCTIONS
Cost: $ - Preparation Time: 10 minutes Difficulty Level: 1 Servings: 4 1. Stack the slices of bacon on top of each other, and cut the slices in half lengthwise. Chop the bacon into small pieces crosswise. Separate the bacon into small pieces. 2. Put the green beans in a colander and rinse them under cold water, shaking the colander so they are well washed. 3. Trim the ends off the beans and discard, then cut the beans into 1-inch pieces. 4. Trim the root end off the scallions, and trim off some of the coarser, green top, usually about 2 or 3 inches. Chop the remaining white and green part into tiny slices. 5. Peel the potatoes and cut them down the center lengthwise. Place the halves flat side down on a cutting board, and slice the halves in half again lengthwise. Cut the 4 pieces crosswise into 1-inch squares. 6. Set a heavy-bottomed pot or pan with a lid over medium-hight heat. When you place your hand about 1 inch from the bottom of the pan and it feels hot, add the bacon. 7. Using a fork, push and move the bacon around the pot, then separate the little chunks of bacon that are stuck together. Stand right by the stove, stirring and moving the pieces until they are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. 8. Add the green beans and the water, and stir to mix everything together. Put the lid on the pot and turn the heat to low. 9. After 10 minutes, add the scallions and the potatoes. Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over. Leave the heat on low and put the lid on again. Cook for 30 more minutes. Check once after cooking for 15 minutes to make sure that water hasn't all evaporated. If so, add another 1/2 cup of water, cover, and cook the remaining 15 minutes. 10. Serve hot. Posted to The Gourmet Connection Recipe Page Newsletter by newsletter@gourmetconnection.com on May 16, 1999, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
A Message from our Provider:
“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
