Ingredients
- 1 pound thin green beans trimmed
- 3 strips bacon
- 1 large shallot minced
- 12 ounces mushrooms thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons parsley minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
- Drain the beans again and set aside.
- Place the strips of bacon in a large skillet set over medium heat. Cook until the bacon is crisp. Transfer to a paper towel, then crumble the bacon and set aside.
- Discard all but 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat. Add the olive oil to the bacon fat in the skillet, and turn to medium-high heat. Add the shallots and mushrooms, and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the green beans and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the parsley, thyme, sage, salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute, then add the bacon.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
