Equipment
- pot
- strainer
- Deep frying pan, etc
Ingredients
- 2 cloves of garlic finely minced for an aromatic dance
- 1/2 pound of vibrant crisp fresh green beans
- 1.5 ounces of artisanal bacon carefully cut into small, smoky pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper the dark symphony of spice
- 1/4 cup of finely diced onion a savory note in the symphony
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/2 cup of sun-kissed Roma tomatoes diced into ruby-red perfection
Instructions
- Wash the green beans and trim away any tough ends. Cut into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy.
- Add the onion and garlic to the bacon grease in the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in the green beans and Roma tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir to combine.
- Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Allow the green beans to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the green beans are tender, remove from the heat. Stir to combine and serve warm.
Notes
- To save time when making this dish, you can buy pre-cooked bacon and skip the cooking step.
- If you don't have Roma tomatoes, use canned diced or crushed tomatoes.
- For a vegetarian option, replace the bacon with chopped mushrooms or tempeh crumbles.
- If your green beans are particularly large, you can cut them into smaller pieces to make the dish easier to eat.
- For a spicier version, add in some red pepper flakes or fresh chilies.
- The green beans will continue to cook once removed from the heat, so make sure not to overcook them.
