Green Beans With Apple Cider Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Crimp and fold the edges of a double layer of aluminum foil so it resembles a rimmed baking sheet. Put the beans in the center and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 2 tablespoons water.
• Place the foil on the grill cook, tossing the beans occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, about 15 minutes.
• While the beans grill, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings and then stir the mustard, vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the skillet until combined.
• Transfer the beans to a servings bowl and pour the warm vinaigrette over top. Toss well, scatter with the cooked bacon and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cook greenbeans according to package directions to desired doneness.
• Caramelize onions in olive oil. Add cider and raise the heat to deglaze the pan. Salt sparingly and pepper, add Accent if you like. Reduce heat to a simmer and reduce until syrupy. If the sauce isn't sweet enough at this time add a bit of sugar to your taste, adjust salt and pepper as well.
• Add green beans to the sauce, toss to coat and heat through.
• Remove to a serving dish and top with bacon crumbles.

Steps:

• Combine green beans and cider in a microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Cook in microwave on high for 5 minutes; stir beans. Return to oven and cook until tender, 5 more minutes. Remove beans with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving bowl; reserve cider.
• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bacon bits and onion in the hot oil until onion is tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour cider from green beans into the skillet; simmer until liquid is reduced, 5 minutes.
• Spoon bacon mixture over green beans. Season with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until the apple and beans are tender.

Steps:

• Set a steamer basket in a pot. Fill with enough salted water to come just below basket; bring to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
• Place green beans in basket; top with garlic. Cover, and steam until green beans are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Reserve garlic. Transfer green beans to ice water; let stand until cool. Drain; pat dry.
• Make vinaigrette: Using the flat side of the blade of a chef's knife, mash reserved garlic into a paste. Place in a small bowl; whisk in oil, vinegar, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Toss green beans with vinaigrette, and serve.
