Ingredients

4 people
  • 200 gram green beans
  • 150 gram pancetta (or bacon or Italian ham)
  • to garnish: thyme
  • salt

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Oven dish

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Bring a pan of water with a pinch of salt to the boil and preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius / 355 Fahrenheit top and bottom heat.
  • Rinse and clean the green beans.
  • When the water boils, add the beans and cook them al dente for about 5 minutes.
  • Drain and rinse briefly with cold water.
  • Place a slice of bacon on a cutting board and place about 4-5 green beans on top and make a roll. Repeat until you have rolled all the beans in bundles.
  • Place them in an oven dish. Gather the thyme leaves on top. Place in the oven for 5 minutes. Enjoy your meal and happy holidays!
Good to know:
  • You can test whether the beans are done by piercing them with a fork. Does the fork go through easily? Then the beans are done.
  • If you want to prepare this dish ahead, you can do so until you put them in the oven.  Then extend the oven time by about 5-10 minutes until the beans are hot and the bacon is crisped up.
