Green Beans Bolognese (Splendid Table)

By

"This is a special occasion food that melts away on the tongue. The beans taste so special, they could stand on their own as a first course. As a side dish, they are particularly good with lemon-or balsamic flavored roasts or grills."

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute over med. high heat 4 min., or until wilted. Add the beans and cook over high heat 8 min., or until the onions are deep golden brown. Stir frequently with a wooden spatula. Stir in the mortadella, stock, and cloves, and bring to a gentle bubble over medium-low heat. Cover and cook 15 minutes (checking for sticking) until the beans are tender. If the beans threaten to stick or scorch, add 1/4 c. water.
Boil off all the liquid until there is only a thick sauce clinging to the beans.
