    USA Weekend - 11/12-14/04
    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
