Michelle told me about this incredible recipe from Our Best Bites website. It sounded perfect for our Easter feast. I don't know why it's taken me so long to post this, but is a keeper! Never in my wildest food dreams would I think I'd crave green beans! It just goes to show you, life in the food blogging world just keeps getting better and better!P.S. Those are caramelized red onions if your wondering...I know they look a little scary, but looks can be deceiving!
To Die for Green Beans!
1 1/8 pound green beans-washed, with ends snapped off and snapped in half.
1/2 pound bacon
1/2 red onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, pressed
2 Tb soy sauce
2 Tb sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
olive oil
In a small bowl combine soy sauce , sugar, salt. Set aside.
In a large pot bring water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a good sized frying pan cook the bacon. Remove from pan onto paper towels. Pour out bacon drippings from pan. When bacon is cooled, crumble into pieces.
When water is boiling, add green beans. Your just blanching them for a minute or two. Drain.
In the same pan you used for the bacon, add a little olive oil. When heated, add the sliced onions and pressed garlic. Saute for a minute-add the green beans, stir fry for a few minutes. Give the sauce a stir, then add to pan. Stir fry until the sauce starts to glaze and thicken. Add bacon and freshly ground pepper.
Wala! You just made yourself a killer side dish. Just remember to share!
