The quasi-classic Spanish side dish known as judias verdes con jamon. I substituted bacon for the Serrano ham. From 500 All-Time Great Recipes.

Categories     Pork

Time 15m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb fresh green beans or 1 lb frozen green beans
3 tablespoons fruity olive oil
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled (Serrano ham or Parma ham can be substituted)
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot of salted water cook the green beans about 5-6 minutes, only until just tender but still with some "bite".
  • In a saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium heat and fry the onion for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook another minute. DO NOT burn the garlic!
  • Drain the green beans well and add to the saucepan with the garlic. Cook, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon. NOTE: If using Serrano or Parma ham, add it at the same time with the garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
