The Queen Of The World made them last night. Man, were they good.
Ingredients:
Fresh green beans
1/4 sweet onion, cut in half from top to bottom
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
Bacon slices, cut in half
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 350°
Slice half of the sweet onion into 1/4 inch wide slivers
Chop the remaining onion
Place the olive oil, green beans, chopped onion, and garlic in a skillet and saute over medium heat until lightly browned.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Wrap 4 green beans and one sliver of onion with a piece of bacon around the middle (like a belt). Repeat until all beans are wrapped.
Place the bundles on a rack placed on a cooking sheet (so that the bundles are not touching the sheet; we want to roast, not fry). Bake at 350° until the bacon is golden brown.
Serve to an adoring public.
I've seen it done with asparagus before - but never green beans. :)
