Green beans with bacon will always find a place in my heart, and in my kitchen.  I remember, even as a very young girl, visiting my godparents in a tiny, drawn and weathered town on the outskirts of Tulsa, Oklahoma.  At dinner time, I’d sit at their table which, large as it was, never seemed to have enough room for all the boisterous, warm-hearted relatives who came for supper.   Sitting at the table, I’d eagerly await my godmother’s classic comfort food.  No potato was served without gravy. No strawberry served without cream. And, definitely, no green bean served without bacon.  In many ways, this recipe is an homage to her – my godmother who cared for me when I was very little, and in whose yard I hunted Easter eggs, and who nourished me at her table – green beans with bacon and all.

Smoky and salty, pastured bacon provides a perfect foil to the sweet, crisp green beans while caramelized shallots bring the entire dish together; afterall, everything is better with caramelized shallots.Click Here to Continue Reading.
