Green Beans in Cider
2 (18-ounce) bags of whole frozen green beans
1 cup apple cider
1 drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
4 slices pancetta (or maple-smoked bacon), chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine beans and cider. Loosely cover with plastic wrap; microwave on High for 5 minutes. Stir, replace plastic, and microwave 4 to 7 minutes more, until desired doneness.
Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and pancetta (or bacon); cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove beans from microwave; add salt and pepper. With tongs or a slotted spoon, remove beans from the cider and transfer to a serving bowl or platter.
Cover to keep warm.
Add cider to skillet; cook over medium-high heat to reduce liquid, 5 minutes. Pour bacon, onions and cider over beans, and serve.
Yield: 6 cups
