Green Beans with Bacon and Shallots Time: 30 minutes
3 slices bacon
2 shallots
5 - 6 oz (150gr) green beans
Top and tail beans...cut off the ends. Cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths (4cm). Chop shallots. Sauté bacon in small frying pan. When bacon is crisp remove and crumble. Drain all but 1 tbs fat from pan. Add shallots and sauté until transparent. Add beans, 1/4 cup of water, turn heat to low, cover and simmer until done - about 15 minutes. If beans dry out add a little more water. When done transfer to serving bowl (there should be little or no liquid left - if there is just pour it off). Add pepper and crumbled bacon and serve.
