Kroger French Style Sliced Green Beans
What it is
These are tender green beans that have been sliced lengthwise into thin strips. This preparation method is often called 'French style' because it resembles the way julienned vegetables are cut. The beans are typically packed in water, sometimes with a touch of salt, and are ready to be heated and served.
How people cook with it
These convenient green beans are a versatile addition to many meals. They can be quickly prepared on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Side dish for weeknight dinners
- Added to casseroles
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Topping for savory pies
To prepare, drain the liquid from the can. You can then heat the beans in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, place the drained beans in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and heat on high for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. For added flavor, you can sauté them with a little butter or olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole or cut green beans, the French style cut offers a more delicate texture and a larger surface area for seasonings to adhere to. This shape also cooks more quickly and evenly than larger pieces.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy vegetable side dish will appreciate these pre-sliced green beans.
