GREEN BEANS WITH BACON, SHALLOTS AND RED WINE VINEGAR

SERVES 4

This is similar to the Sautéed Green Beans with Bacon and Shallots, but the vinegar adds a whole new dimension of flavor.

INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 ounces slab bacon, chopped

1 large shallot, finely chopped

1 pound green beans, cleaned and ends removed

1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Water as needed

Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and sauté until brown, about 2 minutes. Add shallots; sauté about 1 minute. Add beans, marjoram, salt, pepper and vinegar; reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, adding a little water if needed, until tender, about 20 minutes depending on size of beans. Toss often. Uncover, remove excess moisture. Serve immediately.

Note: Other vinegar, such as Balsamic or cider, may be substituted for the red wine vinegar.
