Green Beans with Bacon Recipe

Ingredients

• Bacon

  Raw, cured pork

  3 strip or 36g

• Salt

  Table

  1 dash or 0.4g

• Pepper

  Spices, black

  1 dash or 0.1g

• Green beans

  Snap beans, raw

  3 cup 1/2" pieces or 300g

• Lemon juice

  Raw

  1 tbsp or 15g

Directions

1. Heat a pot of salted water to a rolling boil (1 Tbsp salt for 2 quarts of water).
2. While the water is heating up to boil, slowly cook the bacon until crispy in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Use a slotted spoon or a fork to remove the bacon from the pan. Set the bacon on paper towels to sop up the excess fat. You should have about one tablespoon of fat left in the pan. Pour off any fat beyond 1 tablespoon.If you have less than a tablespoon of fat left in the pan, add a little olive oil or butter to the pan.
3. Once water is boiling, add the green beans and boil them for 4-5 minutes, until just tender enough to eat (you may have to cook longer depending on the particular green beans you have). Drain and set aside.
4. Once the green beans are cooked, saute them over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes in the bacon fat. Dice the bacon and add to the pan and saute another minute. Put the beans and bacon into a large serving bowl and sprinkle generously with fresh ground black pepper. Toss with lemon juice or vinegar and serve at once.
