Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs of green beans, ends trimmed and cut into 1” pieces
- 1 cup of red onion, small dices
- 4 oz. of pancetta, small cubes
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
Instructions
- To get started, fill a large saute pan with 1″ of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add green beans with ends trimmed and cut into 1″ pieces to boiling water. Put the cover on and steam green beans for 2 minutes.
- Remove green beans from saute pan and immediately put green beans in an ice bath {bowl of water with ice cubes} to stop the cooking process.
- Heat a large saute pan to medium high heat. Add olive oil to pan and then small diced red onion. Stir and saute for 10 minutes until onions are slightly caramelized.
- Next add small cubed pancetta. Saute for 10 minutes until pancetta is browned.
- Add a pinch of salt {not too much because the pancetta has salt already} and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
- Add cooked green beans and toss to coat everything. Serve.
