This recipe is adapted from Barbara’s favorite cookbook Vegetables on the Side. It is her go-to cookbook for inspiration in the summer when vegetables from the garden are bountiful.

Old Fashioned Green Beans with Andouille Sausage

Last time that Barbara visited her favorite meat store, Rihm Foods, her good friend Joe gave her some Rihm’s Spicy Smoked Andouille Sausage to try. She couldn’t decide how to use it…the possibilities are endless. But then she found a green bean and bacon recipe and a light bulb went off.

She swapped the bacon for the andouille sausage. The rest is history.

We love Rihm Foods because they almost always have some meat samples right there on the grill that you can taste. That’s our kind of place. And the customer service is top notch. Not sure how to fix something? They will give you suggestions or even recipes before you walk out the door.

How to Make Green Beans with Spicy Smoked Sausage

Full recipe can be found below.

Steam green beans until fork tender. In a skillet, cook andouille sausage until crisp and the oil is rendered out. Remove sausage from the skillet, and add onions to the fat and cook until translucent. Remove the onions (add them to the sausage) and stir in sugar and red wine vinegar with the remaining fat in the skillet. Cook until sugar is just dissolved. Add green beans, sausage and onions back to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Once warmed through, serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top.
