4 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pounds | Fresh green beans |
| ½ | Cut diced uncooked bacon | |
| ½ | Onion; minced | |
| 3 | Cloves garlic; chopped | |
| ¼ | cup | Dry sherry |
| 1 | pinch | Cumin |
| 1 | teaspoon | Freshly cracked black pepper |
| ½ | teaspoon | Salt |
Directions
Snap off the stems of the beans and remove their strings, if any. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to blanch. Drain the beans again, then transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
In a medium saute pan, cook the bacon over high heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving the bacon drippings, and transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Decrease the heat to medium-high. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the sherry and cook until about 1 tablespoon of liquid remains. Add the beans, cumin, pepper, salt, and bacon and toss well.
Place the beans on a serving platter and serve immediately.
