Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 Shallots minced
  • 4 Garlic cloves minced
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • About 1 - 1 ½ pounds of green beans 1-2 bundles per person
  • 2 pounds of Applewood Smoked bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Blanch green beans in a large stock pot of well salted boiling water until bright green in color and tender crisp, roughly 2 minutes. Drain and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop from cooking.
  • In a saute pan on medium heat, add olive oil and shallots, saute until translucent. Add garlic and fresh ground pepper. Cook until fragrant and cool slightly after.
  • Toss the shallot mixture with the green beans. Divide the green beans into 16 equal portions, about 6 beans each. Gather each portion into a neat bunch and wrap a slice of bacon around the bundle to hold the beans together. Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet with the loose ends of the bacon underneath.
  • Roast until the bacon is cooked through and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes and serve!
