Green Beans and Red Bell Pepper in Balsamic Vinegar Vinaigrette
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch
strips
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water to a boil.
Add the beans and partially cook for 4 to 5 minutes (depending on
the degree of doneness you want). Remove from heat. Drain the beans
in a colander and immediately immerse them in an ice water bath to
stop from cooking; drain and set aside. In a small frying pan over
medium heat, saute red bell pepper in olive oil until tender. Add
garlic, partially cooked green beans, sherry, balsamic vinegar, salt,
and pepper. Heat until beans are warmed. Transfer to a serving platter,
top with Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
Makes 6 servings.
Green Beans Supreme
- 3 (14.5-ounce) cans French-style green beans, undrained
- 4 bacon slices, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped pimiento, drained
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
- 1 (2-ounce) can mushrooms, undrained
- 1/2 pound processed American cheese, cut into cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
- Butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan over medium-high
heat, cook green beans with bacon pieces and onion long enough to
cook bacon and season beans; remove from heat. Drain bean mixture
and place into an ungreased two-quart casserole dish. In the same
saucepan over medium heat, sauté bell pepper and pimiento in
butter or margarine. Add mushroom soup, mushrooms, American cheese,
and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese
is melted and mixture is thick. Remove from heat and pour over beans.
Sprinkle with crushed Ritz crackers and dot with butter. Bake, uncovered,
30 minutes or until top is golden brown and thoroughly heated. Remove
from oven and serve. Makes 8 servings.
