Germanyâs 4th place position and relative size to the top three economies adds credence, in our view, to expectations that the European monetary union and its singular currency (the euro) will outlast skeptics, added Stoltzfus.
Bake for 75 minutes, then check: Cover the beans. Put in the oven and cook for 75 minutes. Taste the beans to see if they are soft and cooked through. Small beans, such as little pintos, will often be done at this point, especially if they soaked all night.
While the beans are cooking, peel a center strip from each new potato with a potato peeler (it makes them look fancier). At the end of 30 minutes, add the potatoes and onion to the beans; add 1/4 cup more broth, if needed. Cook, covered tightly, until potatoes are tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Check the pot often to make sure a small amount of liquid remains. When the potatoes are tender, tilt the lid slightly, off to the side of the pot, and continue to cook until the green beans are completely wilted, about 15 minutes.
