Garden fresh green beans


serves 2

2 slices bacon, 16gr, .56oz, cooked, drained
1 - 2 shallots, 45gr, 1.6oz
6oz green beans, 170gr, 6oz


Top and tail beans - cut off the ends.  Cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths (4cm).
Chop shallots.
Sauté bacon in small frying pan.  When bacon is crisp remove and crumble.
Drain all but 1 tbs fat from pan.  Add shallots and sauté until transparent.
Add beans, 1/4 cup of water, turn heat to low, cover and simmer until done - about 15 minutes.  If beans dry out add a little more water.
When done transfer to serving bowl (there should be little or no liquid left - if there is just pour it off).  Add crumbled bacon and serve.

    1. there are some foods that we simply do not like. While bacon is very tasty the main dish is still green beans so I am not sure if the bacon will be enough to have you like them, you may find other great recipes that you do like here on our blog though
