Basque Green Beans

This one is from a couple weeks ago, but I didn't get a chance to write it up at the time. It was really good though and the toddle bot absolutely loved the beans, so I wanted to make sure it didn't get lost or forgotten.

Basque Green Beans
Slightly adapted from Cook's Country April/May 2016
4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 onion, sliced thin
2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
3/4 tsp. coarse sea salt
4 garlic cloves, sliced thin
1 1/2 lbs. green beans, trimmed
1/4 c. water
1 (14oz.) tin diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp. cane vinegar (use sherry vinegar if available)

1. Cook bacon until crispy.
2. Add onion, bell peppers, 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
4. Add beans, water, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cover and cook ~10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in tomatoes. Cover and cook until slightly thickened (~5 minutes).
6. Stir in vinegar and 1/2 tsp. pepper.

I served this alongside a bottom round roast (from the same magazine). Very nice combo!
