Ingredients

For the green beans with creamy parmesan sauce and bacon

  • 500g green beans – trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon cooking oil
  • 3–4 rashers bacon – chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic – crushed
  • ½ cup vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 cup cream
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

Method

For the green beans with creamy parmesan sauce and bacon

  • Cut the beans into 4–5cm pieces.
  • Heat the oil in a pan over a medium-high heat and fry the bacon until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the garlic to the same pan and stir for 15 seconds.
  • Add the beans and stir well to coat in the garlicky bacon fat.
  • Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, stirring every now and then so the beans cook evenly.
  • Add the cream, parmesan and a good grind of pepper.
  • Simmer gently, uncovered, for 2–3 minutes until the cream reduces and becomes thicker.
  • Serve topped with the bacon.
