Tra Vigne Green Beans Recipe
From: Jenn Tidwell @ www.tasteofhome.com/
The title of this recipe translates to among the vines in Italian. I was inspired by a restaurant in the Napa Valley called, yes you guessed it, Tra Vigne. The flavors in this dish, to me, represent the essence of its title.
Prep time: 15 min.
Cook time: 25 min.
MAKES: 9 servings
Ingredients
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
12 bacon strips, chopped
2 shallots, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups white grape juice
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup minced chives
Directions
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil.
Add green beans; cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Drain and immediately place green beans in ice water.
Drain and pat dry.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp.
Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings.
In the same skillet saute shallots in bacon drippings until tender.
Add garlic, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute longer.
Stir in juice and vinegar.
Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half.
Add green beans and bacon, cook until heated through.
