GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS AND BACON

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling add the green beans, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove the green beans from the boiling water and put into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Remove the beans from the ice water and set aside. Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat and cook the chopped bacon until crispy (around 8-10 min). Put the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Remove most of the bacon grease from the saute pan, leaving around 2 Tablespoons of grease (enough to coat the bottom of the pan). Put the pan over medium low heat, then add the shallots and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring and cooking for 3-4 minutes, until they start to caramelize. Add the green beans, raise heat to medium high. Add the salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Stir everything together, cooking for 3-4 minutes. Put the green beans into a serving dish. Sprinkle the bacon on top, stir together, and serve immediately.
