Ingredients
- 500 g green beans trimmed
- 3 rasher Bacon
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 garlic clove crushed
- 80 g button mushrooms sliced
- 3 shallots diced
- 350 ml chicken stock
Instructions
- Chop up 3 rasher Bacon and add it to a frying pan with 1 teaspoon Olive oil. Gently cook for 4-5 minutes until the bacon starts to crisp.
- Add 3 Shallots, 80 g Button mushrooms and 2 Garlic clove to the frying pan and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Add 500 g Green beans to the slow cooker.
- Add the bacon mix on top.
- Pour in 350 ml Chicken stock and cook on high for 3 hours.
Notes
- How long you cook the bacon for really is a preference thing. Some people like their bacon really crispy, in which case cook it for a couple of minutes longer.
- The bacon softens a little when cooking, so you can save some of the crispy bacon to sprinkle on top before serving.
- You can make this a more filling side dish by adding diced potatoes and cooking them all together. They might need cooking a little longer, but the beans will be fine with longer in the slow cooker.
- Always use fresh green beans, not canned.
- You can make this a vegan side dish by leaving out the bacon and using vegetable stock.
- Add some extra flavour to the finished dish with a sprinkle of red chilli flakes.
