How to Make Creole Hot Green Beans

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Add 1 pound of fresh green beans, trimmed.
  5. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp but still retain a slight bite. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Carefully transfer the green beans to a shallow dish, ensuring they are completely submerged in the vinegar mixture.
  7. Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the beans. The longer they marinate, the better they taste!
  8. Serve chilled. Enjoy!
