Fresh green beans are a wonderful thing. Cook these by briefly blanching, then sauté in bacon fat. Toss with a little bacon, black pepper, and vinegar, and serve as a side with roast chicken or steak.
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans, ends snipped off and discarded, extra-long beans, cut in half if you want
Salt
2-3 slices bacon
Black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice, cider vinegar, or red wine vinegar
