Warm Green Bean Salad Time: 25 minutes
Warm beans with bacon bits.... There is something about that combination that never fails so excite the taste buds. These beans are cooked until tender, rather then being quickly blanched; this is an old-fashioned salad ....
green beans, 5 - 6 oz (175gr)
2 slices bacon
1 tbs cider vinegar or other vinegar
1 tbs water
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp dry mustard
2 tbs snipped fresh chives
Top and tail beans...cut off the ends. Cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths (4cm). Put in a small saucepan, cover with water, put on medium heat and bring to a boil. Turn down to low and simmer until done, about 10 - 15 minutes. Drain beans and put into serving bowl, keep warm. Sauté bacon in a small skillet. When bacon is crisp remove and crumble, add to beans. Drain fat from pan. Add remaining ingredients to pan and heat through, stirring to loosen up the browned bits from the bacon. Pour over beans, toss gently to combine and serve.
