This was a fabulous side dish being demo-ed at Publix the other day. I was lucky enough to be in the store two times when they were serving this and knew it was going to be on my table this weekend.
What an interesting combination of flavors! Bacon drippings, Italian dressing, olives, lemon zest.....who'd a thunk it? I suppose you could use regular green beans, but I just love these smaller French green beans (haricot vert). I have found them loose and also in 8 oz bags at several markets in several states....it's not a hard-to-find ingredient. Be careful not to overcook....these are at their best when they are crisp-tender.
GREEN BEAN SAUTE (4 servings)
1 Tbsp bacon drippings (about 4 slices of bacon)
1/4 cup zesty Italian salad dressing
8 oz French green beans
1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarselty chopped (I prefer oil-cured olives)
zest of one lemon
Heat bacon drippings and Italian dressing on medium-high for 1-2 minutes or until hot. Add green beans; cook 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender (mine took a few minutes more). Chop olives and stir into beans with lemon zest. Serve.
