Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

salt
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
2 oz regular or turkey bacon, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh savory (or fresh oregano)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Drop beans in water and cook 3 minutes, then drain in colander. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-low heat, stirring until it renders most of its fat and is nearly crisp. Pour off all but 1 tbsp fat. Add garlic to skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Raise heat, add beans and savory and toss 1 to 2 minutes to blend flavors. Season with pepper and salt, if needed.
