I have some fresh green beans and would like to cook some green beans. I'm tired of my usual recipe so what else can I do to season it?
my usual seasoning:
garlic powder
seasoned salt
ground black pepper
or
chopped fine onions
chopped diced tomatoes
oregano
parmesan cheese

I got this recipe here last year when I asked for sides using traditional ingredients done a little differently. It was really, really good, and plated extremely well on a rectangular dish that is about 5 inches by 15 or so. I was just talking to my sister about it and how we are going to make it again. This year we are going to try Applewood smoked bacon.
Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans
Ingredients:
* 3/4 pound fresh green beans
* 4 bacon strips
* 3 tablespoons butter, melted
* 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
* 1/8 teaspoon soy sauce
Directions:
Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove to paper towels.
Drain beans; place about 12 beans on each bacon strip. Wrap bacon around beans and secure with a toothpick. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, garlic salt and soy sauce; brush over bundles. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Yield: 4 servings.

Hi Hunni, A Traditional sauce is holandaise. If you google you will find a recipe it is long to write or explain but very easy to make. or another is a basic white sauce made with half milk and half chicken or vegetable stock,called a veloute or velvet sauce. Or if you fry breadcrumbs in a very little oil in which you add a couple of cloves of garlic to flavour the oil -after which you throw the garlic away - this will give the beans a different texture and flavour. i hope this helps. all the best.

My cousin blanches her green beans & then adds them to a frying pan that contains cooked bacon and chopped onion & garlic that has been sauteed until it is pale gold & translucent. She then adds double cream, heats it gently & then adds freshly ground black pepper & serves.
As they are fresh though, for a big change, why not just cook them & serve steaming hot with a knob of butter on the top?

Fry chopped onion and beans in butter and a drop of oil till onions are transparent and beans are slightly tender but still crispy coat with some tomato paste salt and pepper voila.

Put a little sesame oil in a pan and heat it up with sesame seeds and a little soy sauce and throw the green beans in there and saute just a little. Better if you have slivered almonds too, maybe even thinly sliced mushrooms. Yummy!
