EAT AT JOMAMA’S

Part of the fall fest evening menu.

This recipe is originally from a friend at church, but has been slightly altered in quantity and ingredients. 

I actually prefer my veggies savory, but the light sweetness was a hit with the hubby.

Green Bean Bundles

Ingredients:

• 70 fresh green pole beans (the only reason I know the actual number is because I counted how many beans I put in each bundle…I’m not really sure what the weight was though…about 3 handfulls I guess)
• 5 slices of bacon, cut in half to make 10
• 3/4 brown sugar
• 1/4 extra virgin olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• kosher salt
• 2T water

Instructions:

1. preheat oven to 350
2. wrap 7 green beans in one half slice of bacon, secure with toothpick.
3. place bundles in 9×13 baking dish
4. in a small bowl mix sugar, oil, and garlic. heat in microwave 30 sec and mix again. 
5. spoon over bundles (about 1 spoonful each)
6. drizzle water on pan in the spaces between the bundles
7. cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes
8. uncover, salt lightly, bake for 5-7 more minutes

To add a little flavor to the rice, spoon juices from this dish on to plain brown rice.
