Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Set aside.
Scrub and rinse the new potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
Dice the bacon into small pieces and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the green beans, potatoes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the green beans are fully cooked.
Stir in the butter and reserved bacon. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish before serving. Serve warm as a hearty side dish.
