This recipe combines a Thanksgiving staple, green beans, with a smoky, slightly sweet bacon vinaigrette. It’s light yet substantial—a real crowd-pleaser!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds green beans, stems removed
- 1/2 pound sliced smoked bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped Italian parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook the beans in salted boiling water until crisp tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and place them in an ice bath to cool. Drain, and set the beans aside.
- Cook the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat until it starts to brown. Add the onions and cook until they caramelize and turn golden.
- Add the green beans, red wine vinegar, and sugar, and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in the parsley, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
