MAKES: 4 servings
PREP TIME: 10 Min
COOKING TIME: 25 Min
RECIPE & PHOTO INSPIRED BY: hintofhealthy.com/ham-green-beans-and-potatoes
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 pound potatoes
- 2 cans green beans
- 2-3 cups chicken broth (or water)
- 2 cups diced ham
- 1 pinch black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
- Warm up oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add peeled and diced onion to the pot and saute for a few minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add finely diced garlic and saute for another minute.
- Add diced potatoes and chicken broth (or water) to the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, then reduce it to a simmer over medium heat until softened, about 10 minutes. Add additional broth/water if you'd like more in the dish.
- Add drained green beans and ham and cook another 10 minutes, until the potatoes are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork. Stir occasionally.
- Add black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
NOTES:
- Adjust the amount of broth used to suit your preference. More broth will make the dish more like soup.
- Feel free to add more seasoning. Dried herbs, a bay leaf, or a pinch of cayenne pepper would be great additions.
- You can also add extra vegetables. Try adding diced carrots, peas, cabbage, broccoli, or kale. Drained & rinsed canned beans are also a great addition.
