Cut Green BeansSteps
-
Cook the bacon: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to render its fat and starts to crisp around the edges, about 6–7 minutes.
-
Add the onion: Stir in the diced onion and continue cooking until the bacon is browned and the onion is softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
-
Add tomato paste: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
-
Add green beans and seasoning: Add the Green Valley Organic Cut Green Beans, smoked paprika, kosher salt, pepper, and ½ cup water. Stir to combine.
-
Simmer: Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
-
Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot as a smoky, savory side dish.
