Green Beans for Company
Ingredients
- 2 Tbs. teriyaki sauce
- 1 Tbs. honey
- 1 Tbs. butter
- 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 lb. fresh green beans
- 2 slices bacon
- 1/2 C. red bell pepper strips
- 1/2 C. thin onion wedges
- 1/2 C. whole cashews
Directions
In a small bowl, stir together the teriyaki sauce, honey, and butter. Fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the lemon juice. Drop in the beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until beans are bright green. Drain the beans in a colander and then plunge them into the iced water. Drain again and set aside.
In a skillet, cook the bacon until very crispy, crumble and set aside. Sauté the bell pepper and onion in the hot bacon fat for 2 minutes. Add the beans, cashews, and bacon to the skillet. Add the teriyaki-honey sauce and toss gently.
