Bacon Braised Green Beans
Emeril Lagasse
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6 slices bacon, diced
- 1 cup thinly-sliced onion
- 2 tbsp sliced garlic
- 2 lbs green beans, trimmed and cut into pieces
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add olive oil to Dutch oven and place over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon and ook, stirring occasionally, until it is well browned. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent. Add the green beans and toss to combine with the bacon and onion.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken stock. As soon as the stock begins to boil, place the lid on the pan and cook the beans for about 6 minutes. Remove the lid, season with salt and pepper, and toss well. Replace the lid and cook until the beans are tender, 1 or 2 minutes longer.
- Remove from heat and transfer the beans to a serving dish or small platter to serve.
