Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds new potatoes
- 1 pound green beans
- 2 cups diced ham
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrition.
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid browning.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the diced ham and sauté for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown and heat through.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
Add the new potatoes, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the broth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Add the green beans to the pot, stir well, and continue to simmer uncovered for another 8-10 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still bright green.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve hot as a main course or side dish. This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or cornbread.
