Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 150 grams bacon
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut them into bite-sized pieces if desired.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until just tender but still slightly crisp. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Dice the bacon into small pieces and finely chop the onion.
Step 4
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon becomes crispy and has rendered its fat.
Step 5
Push the bacon to one side of the skillet and add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion in the bacon fat for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 6
Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the bacon and onion mixture.
Step 7
Season the green beans with salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm the beans through.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the green beans to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish for roasted meats, schnitzel, or alongside boiled potatoes.
