• 1 pound green beans, stems trimmed

• 1 cup (about ½ medium onion) yellow onion, thinly sliced

• 2 pieces bacon, roughly chopped

• ¼ cup kosher salt for blanching, + more to taste if desired

2. Bring 3 quarts of water, seasoned with ¼ cup kosher salt, to a rolling boil.

3. Add green beans to the boiling water and blanch until tender-crisp (about 4 minutes). Test one for doneness. as soon as they are tender-crisp, remove the beans from the pot and shock them in the ice water bath. Drain.

4. In a separate, large sauté pan over medium heat, add the oil, bacon, and onions. Cook until bacon crisps and the onions take on a golden color.

5. Add green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are hot. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as desired.
