Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 5-6 minutes, until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels.
  2. Pour out excess fat from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
  3. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes or until translucent and slightly caramelized.
  4. Add the green beans to the pan along with 2 tablespoons of water (or chicken broth). Season the green beans with salt. Cook the beans, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Just before removing from the pan, mix in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and half the basil and mint.
  5. Transfer the green beans and onions to a serving dish. Top with bacon, remaining herbs, torn burrata, fresh lemon zest and pink peppercorns.
