Green Beans with Apple Cider
For a Thanksgiving or autumn feast that you can prepare in under an hour, serve these green beans with Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast with Pan Gravy, Pumpkin Soup with Chili Cran-Apple Relish, Apple and Onion Stuffin' Muffins and Autumn Potato Gratin.
Ingredients
-
2 bags whole frozen green beans (16 ounces each)
-
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup apple cider
- Salt and pepper
Preparation
Place the beans into a large microwave-safe bowl. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic food storage wrap and microwave on high for five minutes. Uncover and stir the beans, then cover and microwave on high for 4-7 minutes longer until the desired doneness is reached – from still-crisp to tender, but with a bite.
Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO and the onion and cook until the onion begins to caramelize, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cider, raise the heat to medium-high and cook until the liquid is reduced and syrupy, about five minutes.
