Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans washed and trimmed
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon Salt and freshly ground black pepper each
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup chopped cooked bacon
Instructions
- Blanch green beans in boiling water for about 2 minutes, or until their color turns bright green. Transfer them to a large bowl with ice-cold water. Drain the beans and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add trimmed green beans to the skillet, season them with salt and black pepper, and saute them stirring often until they are tender for about 3 minutes. (Make sure you don't burn them, reduce the heat if necessary).
- Add minced garlic to the green beans, toss and cook until fragrant for about 30 seconds.
- Pour 1/2 cup water over the green beans and cover the skillet with a lid. Steam the green beans for about 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
- Drain green beans and transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over them and season with a little bit of salt and pepper. Top with chopped cooked bacon.
