Steamin' Taters 'n' Beans

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 (2-ounce) piece salt pork, (see note)
• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 small red potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut in half
• 2 teaspoons salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, combine salt pork, green beans, and pepper with enough water to cover. Place potatoes on top and sprinkle with salt. Cover loosely and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 to 35 minutes, or until potatoes and beans are tender. Serve in bowls with broth.

Notes:
Three slices raw bacon will work just as well as salt pork.
