ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup diced salt pork, I use 3 strips of cooked bacon, or
- vegetarian bacon
- 1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
- 1 1⁄2 lbs fresh green beans or 1 1/2 lbs frozen green beans
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon tabasco red pepper sauce
- 1⁄4 cup minced celery rib
- 1⁄4 cup chopped celery leaves
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
directions
- Steam the green beans until just done but still maintaining their bright green color. Drain. Keep warm.
- In the meantime, in a small pan over medium-high heat cook the salt pork or bacon until crisp. Reserve the fat. (If using vegetarian bacon, you'll need to add a bit of oil to the pan for frying.).
- Reduce heat, add the minced celery stalks and cook about 2 minutes; adding the garlic and cooking another minute longer. Stir in vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar and TABASCO sauce. Heat through.
- Remove from heat; stir in celery leaves.
- Toss with beans to coat. Season with salt and pepper and adjust seasonings if necessary.

I love when you try a recipe and it delivers much more than you expected. This was absolutely delicious! I made this with bacon, which went well with the mustard and sugar to make a tangy, sweet-and-sour-ish sauce. I can see where this would be a nice change of pace on the Thanksgiving table, and I will look forward to making it again then. Made by a Tasty Tester for ZWT 9.

Really loved these green beans!!! I scaled back the recipe to 1/2, using 2 pieces of bacon, one can of "French Style" green beans, so didn't bother with steaming the beans, but then followed as written. I was really skeptical about adding the celery and leaves but found out that I loved this added flavor to the beans then along with the vinegar and hot sauce, yummy!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT 9.
