These green beans in pork stock offer a deeply savoury way to enjoy a classic garden vegetable. By simmering the beans slowly with a meaty ham hock, they transform from a simple side into a rich and comforting dish. This traditional method allows the beans to soften completely, absorbing the salt and smoky depth of the pork for a melt-in-the-mouth texture that is far more satisfying than a quick steam.
As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates while providing a good source of fibre and protein. It makes a substantial side dish for a Sunday roast or can be enjoyed as a light main meal. The simple preparation and minimal ingredients make it an effortless addition to your healthy home-cooking repertoire.
