amanda

Equipment

  • - Dutch Oven: For slow-cooking snap beans with country ham and mustard sauce, enhancing flavor infusion.

  • - Mustard Seeder: Ideal for grinding fresh whole grain mustard seeds into powder at home.

  • - Vegetable Peeler: Useful for peeling the skin off vegetables like snap beans if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter, bacon drippings, or vegetable oil

  • 3 ounces uncooked country ham, finely diced

  • 6 medium scallions, trimmed and coarsely chopped (including some green tops)

  • 1 pound tender young green beans, tipped and snapped in two if large

  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour blended with 2 tablespoons cold water (thickener)

  • 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instruction 2

Add the beans and broth and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the broth bubbles gently, cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the beans are crisp-tender.

Instruction 3

Meanwhile, combine the thickener and the mustard and set aside. As soon as the beans are done, whisk a little of the hot broth into the mustard mixture, stir back into the pan, add the pepper, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until the broth thickens. Continue cooking uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has the consistency of a glaze.
