Instructions
Blanching green beans:
Snip the ends off green beans where the bean attached to the vine. You can cut green beans in half or leave them whole.
Prepare ice water bowl by combining cold water and a couple of cups of ice in a large mixing bowl.
Bring a large pot of water to boil and drop green beans in it. Boil them for about 3-4 minutes (depending on thickness).
Take green beans out of the hot water and immediately into the ice water.
After green beans have cooled, take them out onto a paper towel to pat dry.
Saute:
Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat.
Slice bacon strips, width-wise, into small, thin strips.
Slice onion thinly.
Add bacon to the hot pan and saute for a couple of minutes, until bacon starts to brown.
Add onions and saute until onions are softened and start to brown.
Add green beans and season with a little bit of salt.
Saute green beans for 15-20 minutes, mixing from time to time. Time will depend on how soft or crunchy you prefer green beans.
