Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 100 grams bacon
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans by cutting off the ends, then set them aside.
Slice the bacon into small strips and dice the onion into thin slices. Mince the garlic cloves and set everything aside in separate bowls.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet with the bacon fat and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until golden and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 more minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove the onion and garlic mixture from the skillet and set it aside with the bacon.
In the same skillet, add the olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the green beans and stir to coat them in the garlic butter mixture.
Pour in the water and sprinkle the green beans with salt and black pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and steam the beans over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Once the water has evaporated, add the caramelized onions, garlic, and crispy bacon back to the skillet with the green beans. Toss everything together to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
Adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer the Green Bean Supreme to a serving dish and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy!
