Country style long beans

Ingredients

• 2 bunches long beans
• 1/2 Lbs. - bacon
• 1.5 cups - onions
• 3 Tbs. - minced garlic
• 1/4 cup - toasted almond slices or slivers
• 1/4 cup - green onion tops

Instructions

1. Begin with a large pot of salted water and bring it to a boil.
2. Small dice your bacon and onions. Cook your bacon until it is crispy and reserve the
3. bacon grease.Meanwhile, snip or cut the ends off the long beans. You can cut the beans into bite sized pieces but I find that cutting them after they are cooked to be best.
4. Blanch the long beans whole for about 8 minutes, or until tender.
5. Sauté your onions and garlic until they begin to caramelize. Add your long beans and crispy bacon. Toss with the fresh green onion tops and garnish with the toasted almonds slices.
