Braised Green Beans with Bacon
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 6 cups cut fresh green beans
Instructions
1
Preheat your kitchen by heating a substantial amount of olive oil in a large cooking vessel over a moderate temperature. Cook the crispy, savory strips of bacon in the hot oil until they achieve a rich, brown color, taking approximately 7 to 10 minutes to accomplish this.
2
Next, incorporate the translucent layers of onion into the pot and gently stir them until they have reached a state of tender softness, requiring around 5 to 7 minutes.
3
Subsequently, mix the tangy liquid of vinegar, sugar, and minced garlic into the bacon and onion mixture, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
4
Pour a generous amount of chicken stock over the ingredients, stirring them together before bringing the mixture to a gentle boil and cooking until it reaches a hot state, taking around 2 to 3 minutes.
5
Finally, add the fresh green beans and toss them to coat with the savory sauce before covering the pot and allowing the green beans to simmer gently until they have reached a state of tender doneness, taking approximately 10 minutes longer.
