Recipe comes courtesy of Emeril Live . I watched him make these recently and just had to give them a try. Very good side dish recipe and even my 11 year old scarfed them up. Did modify the recipe to fit our tastes a bit, but did stay with all of his ingredients. Prep time includes trimming the beans, chopping the bacon, and mincing the garlic & shallots. Ingredients:
3/4 lb fresh green beans (small & ends trimmed) |
1/4 lb bacon (chopped) |
1/2 cup shallot (minced) |
1 teaspoon garlic (minced) |
1 tablespoon flour |
1/2 cup chicken stock or 1/2 cup chicken broth |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon cooking sherry |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add the beans and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Drain in colander and transfer to an ice bath.
4. Drain well.
5. Fry the bacon in a large skillet and cook until crisp and golden (approximately 5 minutes).
6. Add the shallots& garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
7. Add the flour and cook, stiring constantly for 2 minutes.
8. Add the stock, salt, pepper, and wine and cook until thickened (about 4 minutes).
9. Add the green beans and cook until warmed through (2 minutes).
