Green Beans

Vegetables

Quick, simple, flavorful.

Ingredients

2 lbs. Fresh green beans, trimmed
1 gallon Water
¼ cup + 1 tsp Kosher salt
¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Fresh garlic, minced
¼ cup Dry white wine
¼ cup Chicken stock
½ tsp Fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

Bring the water and ¼ cup salt to a boil in a large pot. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the green beans to the boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice water just long enough to cool them down. Drain from the ice water and set green beans aside.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and stir constantly for 1 minute to avoid burning. Add the green beans and increase heat to medium-high heat, stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine and continue cooking until almost all the wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and continue cooking until green beans are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Add more stock as needed if it evaporates completely before they are tender. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Yield: 6-8 servings

Robert’s Christmas Turkey 2025

There's nothing like a well-roasted turkey to anchor a holiday table, and no one made it quite like my grandmother. She didn't wait until Thanksgiving to serve it. She'd roast a turkey once a month throughout the year, never mind the occasion. It was a staple at her table. My mother, on the other hand, always made a formal Christmas Eve dinner, complete with turkey, dressing, and gravy. As kids, the excitement of Christmas Eve was almost too much to bear. Those big dinners felt like the beginning of Christmas itself. It’s a memory that comes to mind every time I cook a turkey or make gravy. And a good gravy can make or break the meal. Making sure the roux browns just right and finishing the gravy with a touch of lemon juice or fresh herbs are tricks worth remembering. A little extra attention to the gravy goes a long way.

Bayou Bacon & Cheddar Spread

I can lay waste to a block of cream cheese with pepper jelly and crackers in a matter of minutes. It’s a weakness. No matter how hard I try to exercise self-control, I always find myself standing over the plate at a cocktail party, making it disappear without even thinking. This spread hits the same notes, but with a smoky, savory punch that’s hard to beat. It’s become a go-to for Christmas parties, and if you’re smart, you’ll double the recipe because it’ll be gone before you know it. It’s best when made a day in advance—giving all the flavors time to mingle.

Orange and Bourbon Glazed Duck for Drew

My brother Drew and I were always wound up on Christmas Eve. He was four years older, but you’d never know it by how excited we both were. He’d be bouncing off the walls, too keyed up to sleep, while I’d follow his lead like I always did. When we finally did drift off, it wouldn’t be long before he’d shake me awake before dawn, eyes shining like he hadn’t slept a wink. Those early mornings felt like magic. Now, Christmas means he’s usually out duck hunting in the Delta, his favorite place on earth. He loves the hunt and the calm that comes with being out in the field before the sun rises. I thought of him when I put together this recipe. It’s a little bit of Drew—those wild December mornings in the Delta and the quiet way he’s always looked out for me.
