Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1/4 cup diced sweet onion
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 to 4 cups cooked white beans (Cannelini or Great Northern) or 2 15.5 ounce cans
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parsley leaves for garnish

Instruction

  • In a large saute pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove to paper toweling, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.
  • Add the diced sweet onion to the pan and saute until softened. Over medium heat stir in the sugar and vinegar and let come up to a simmer.
  • Rinse and drain the beans and add them to the pan. Gently simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Chop the bacon pieces and add them along with the sliced green onion to the pan. Simmer another minute or two and then season with salt and pepper.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the bean mixture to a serving bowl. There will be liquid left in the pan. Simmer for a few minutes until it thickens to a light syrup.
  • Pour the syrup over the beans, garnish with the parsley leaves and serve warm or at room temperature.
