Quick Braised Green Beans


Trim, wash, and cut into 1 inch pieces:
One Pound Green Beans
Set aside.

Add, to a warm skillet:
3 Slices Thick Cut Bacon, diced
Cook bacon until crispy.

Add:
2 Cloves Garlic, diced
1 Shallot, diced
2 Tsp. Ground Coriander
Cook one minute.
Add green beans, and then cook one more minute.

Add:
1/2 Cup Chicken Stock
1 Tbs. Sherry Vinegar
Cover.
Reduce heat to low.
Cook 20 minutes.

*The bacon and stock should add enough salt to the dish. Don't add extra salt until you taste, but do add more if necessary.

*Beans should be cooked through, but not overcooked. The texture should resemble a cooked piece of pasta.

*If desired, thicken leftover liquid with a small pat of butter.
