Ingredients
- 300 grams green beans
- 300 grams carrots
- 6 slices bacon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the green beans and trim the ends. Peel and slice the carrots into thin sticks or rounds of similar size to the green beans.
Step 2
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the slices of bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-low. Add the green beans and carrots, tossing to coat them in the remaining bacon grease and olive oil.
Step 4
Pour in 1 cup of water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the vegetables to steam for 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Drain any excess water after steaming.
Step 5
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet along with the unsalted butter, salt, and black pepper. Stir frequently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated in the garlic butter. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 6
Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces and sprinkle it over the green beans and carrots. Toss gently to combine for even distribution.
Step 7
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
