GREEN BEANS AND BACON

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
Kosher salt
1/2 pound bacon, roughly chopped
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Toss the green beans into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until bright green in color and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the beans and shock in a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the beans again and pat dry.
  • Cook the bacon in a large, heavy saute pan until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Spoon off the excess bacon grease, leaving 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add the onion to the pan and saute until soft and very tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until just fragrant, about 1 more minute. Add the reserved green beans and the pecans and cook until heated through, 5 to 6 minutes more. Return the bacon to the pan, pour in the lemon juice and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans, then cut them into 2-inch pieces.
  • Blanch the green beans: This will help them retain their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Cook the bacon: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then crumble it.
  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans, cooked bacon, chives, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  • Assemble the coins: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Add a spoonful of the filling to the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper up around the filling, starting with the bottom corner and working your way around until you reach the top corner. Pinch the edges of the wrapper together to seal the coin.
  • Fry the coins: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coins and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the coins: Serve the coins hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Bacon and chive green bean coins are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. The combination of bacon, chives, and green beans is a classic, and the wonton wrappers add a crispy crunch. These coins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
