Recipe Description
DESCRIPTION: Everything’s better with bacon – and that goes double for this delicious dish.
Depending on where you live, green beans may have a different moniker. They’re also known as French beans, string beans, snap beans, fine beans, and squeaky beans.
Green beans are extremely popular around the world. This may be attributable to their ability to grow in varied climates, as well as their rapid growth cycle. Green beans can go from planting to maturity in as little as 45 days.
Blairsville, Georgia actually has an annual green bean festival, which boasts an entire day’s worth of food, fun, and frivolity.
Green beans come as pole beans, which like to climb, or bush beans, which prefer to stay low to the ground. Bush beans mature a bit faster.
Ironically, green beans can also be yellow or purple.
Recipe Directions
- Parboil the green beans in a pot of boiling water. Boil for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
- If the bacon isn’t cooked, chop it up and cook in a skillet with avocado oil.
- Add the drained parboiled green beans to the skillet with the bacon and oil and cook until the green beans crisp up slightly.
- Add tamari sauce and salt and pepper to taste.
