Green Beans with Bacon

Peel the shallot and garlic. Slice the shallot into half-rings, slice 4 cloves of garlic, and crush 1 clove in a garlic press. Wash the beans and trim off any unsightly ends. Heat oil with butter in a pan and sauté the shallot until golden. Add the sliced garlic and let it turn golden. Set aside.

Dice the bacon and fry it quickly until crispy. Return the shallot and garlic to the pan and add the beans. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in the honey mixed with wine vinegar, chopped herbs, and 1 clove of crushed garlic. Sauté together for about 5-7 minutes. The beans should remain crispy inside.
