Ingredients

Green Bean Bundles

  • 64 Fresh Green Beans
  • 8 Slices of Bacon partially cooked
  • 8 Tooth Picks
  • 10 c Water
  • 1.5 tsp Kosher Salt

Tangy Sauce

  • 3 tbs Bacon Grease
  • 2 tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tbs Tarragon Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Cracked Black Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tbs Freshly Chopped Parsley
  • 2 tsp Grated Onion with the Juice

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and place bacon on the baking sheet then partially cook 18-20 minutes, so that it is still pliable for wrapping but beginning to crisp.
  • While the bacon cooks, bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a large pot covered with a lid.
  • Snap the stem end from the green beans.
  • Once the water is boiling, add the kosher salt then the green beans. Blanch for 10 minutes then remove the green beans to cool.
  • Next, transfer the partially cooked bacon to a platter lined with paper towels.
  • Reserve the bacon grease to use later and discard the foil from the baking sheet.
  • Line the pan once more with foil.
  • Gather 8 green beans together for each bundle and wrap with the bacon then secure with a tooth pick.
  • Place the bundles on the baking sheet.
  • Bake the green bean bundles 10 to 15 minutes until the bacon is crisp as desired.
  • Add the ingredients for the sauce to a small microwave measuring cup or bowl, mix to combine. Cover with a paper towel to prevent splatters and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
  • Drizzle a teaspoon of the sauce mixture over each green bean bundle, remove the tooth picks and serve.
