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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the green beans by cutting off the ends, then set them aside.

Step 2

Slice the bacon into small strips and dice the onion into thin slices. Mince the garlic cloves and set everything aside in separate bowls.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer the Green Bean Supreme to a serving dish and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
