Adding white wine, lemon juice and garlic gives a little kick to green beans. It was enough to turn our old, traditional holiday side into a year-round favorite.—Shannon Reynoso, Bakersfield, California Ingredients:
6 thick-sliced bacon strips, chopped |
1 small onion, thinly sliced |
6 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth |
9 cups frozen french-style green beans, thawed |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain. In the same skillet, saute onion in butter and oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in wine; bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 5-8 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.
2. Add the green beans, salt, garlic powder and pepper; heat through. Stir in lemon juice and bacon. Yield: 8 servings.
