Bacon-Garlic Kentucky Green Beans
Ingredients
  • 4 cups trimmed heirloom green beans (such as Kentucky Wonder Beans)
  • 1 slice bacon
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions
1
Begin by filling a substantial saucepan with approximately one inch of water; add the green beans, crispy bacon, minced garlic, and a generous amount of olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt and pepper. Place the saucepan over high heat until it reaches a rolling boil, then gradually decrease the intensity to medium-low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and continue cooking until the green beans have achieved tender consistency, typically requiring 7 to 10 minutes of continuous heat application.
