This dish is fast and easy and the addition of the lime juice is a delightful change for green beans-very refreshing! From 3 Guys from Miami. Enjoy!!! Ingredients:
2 cups green beans, trimmed |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup chopped white onion |
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine |
1/2 cup cooked ham or 1/2 cup bacon, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, place the green beans in boiling, salted water. Cook, uncovered, until fully cooked, about 6 minutes. If you like your beans w/ a little crunch, cook 3-4 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and drain.
3. Sauté the onion in olive oil until the onions begin to get limp. Add garlic and ham or bacon and cook for 2 additional minutes.
4. Remove from heat.
5. Stir in fresh lime juice.
6. Pour sauce over cooked green beans and toss to coat evenly. Season w/ salt pepper to taste.
7. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top and serve.
