Coarse-grained mustard contributes tang to these beans, and bacon adds that smoky element we all love. Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds fresh green beans |
2 bacon slices, chopped |
2 cups water |
1/4 cup butter or margarine |
1/2 cup slivered almonds |
2 tablespoons coarse-grained mustard |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Wash beans; trim stem ends. (Leave beans whole or cut to desired length.)
2. Cook bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp. Add beans and water to bacon with drippings in Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until beans are tender. Drain well, reserving bacon with beans.
3. Melt butter over medium heat in Dutch oven; add almonds, and sauté until lightly toasted. Stir in mustard and honey. Add beans, bacon, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
