Sautéed Green Beans With Bacon

Ingredients

• 200 g green beans, trimmed
• 100 g bacon, sliced
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp bacon fat

Method

1. Cook green beans quickly on the stovetop or microwave until tender but still crisp.
2. Add bacon to a skillet and cook over medium heat until it begins to become crispy and releases fat, about 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
4. Add sliced green onions to the skillet and sauté until they soften, a few minutes.
5. Add the cooked green beans to the skillet with the bacon fat and green onions.
6. Stir to combine, season with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste, and sprinkle with crumbled bacon before serving.
