Get the water boiling and the top hot, Throw the beans in and close it up. As as soon as the pressure starts venting, take it off the heat and start slowly letting the pressure off. In about 30 seconds dump the steam and get them out. Yuck. Green beans should be cooked for at least an hour with a ham hock or two. Eat 'em, and then drink the juice. You damn yankees never learned the proper way to cook green beans. And scorched at least once. I liked can green beans as a kid, hated fresh green beans. Canned had some definition. Parents were from the Midwest. Mom loved fresh green beans, but cooked the green beans for 45 minutes, with a little bacon grease for flavor. The bacon grease was good, the 45 minutes cooking bad. Your mom knew what she was doing...as long as you drank the juice! Why drink the juice, when I had a hard time with the beans? The juice is good for you. Folks who've not tried it don't know what they're missing. My wife’s aunt, who is still strange at 92, use to save all the vegetables cooking water to use in other dishes. Her kids did not like it. Plus all these dishes of water in the refrigerator. |

You damn yankees never learned the proper way to cook green beans. I know, that is what the hog jowls are for but some people around here want something healthy. Hog jowls are a little too fatty and don't have the flavor of smoked ham hocks. That is why you reconcile yourself to throwing half of it away. If you cut that top layer of fat with the rind off until you get to the meat, it is not that fatty. You also need to be careful when you buy them. Look for a good amount of meat in the jowl. They are not all created equal. Some days I buy a few and freeze them. Other times I pass. |

Ham hocks or some chunks of smoked picnic are great. |

Haven't seen them here, but haven't been looking. Now that I have a pound of smoked jowl bacon from Four Oaks Farm, I'll have to find a way to use it. |
