Recipe: Green Beans Al a Jen

haricots verts / green beansI have no name for this recipe, other than I know it came from my aunt Jennifer. It is my favorite way to make green beans, and it is really a treat. It’s a little putsy to make, but not bad. It’s certainly easy. With the over-abundance of green beans right now, I’d welcome your recipes and ideas for cooking green beans too.

Recipe: Green Beans Al a Jen

Fresh, washed/trimmed green beans

Raw strips of bacon cut in half

Brown sugar

Butter

Take about 5 green beans and bunch them together, wrap with bacon and attach with a tooth pick. Lay in a cake pan. When you are done rolling all the green beans and bacon, mix some brown sugar and butter together for a thicker paste. (Maybe about 1/4 cup brown sugar and 5 TBLS sugar) and brush across the bundles. Let them sit until you are ready to grill. Then simply grill the bundles over hot, but indirect heat so you don’t burn the beans before the bacon cooks. Enjoy!

*Don’t eat the tooth picks.
