Fresh green beans are cooked in a seasoned broth mixture then given a splash of cider vinegar for flavor.
4 slices bacon, chopped
2 medium shallots, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces if desired
1/4 cup cider vinegar
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling.
Drain off all but 2 teaspoons of bacon drippings from the pan.
Add the shallots to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring frequently, until tender. Add the chicken broth, water, salt, pepper, and green beans. Bring the liquid to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and cook for 20 minutes or until the beans are tender.
Remove the cover from the pan and cook for 5 minutes to cook off the liquid. Drizzle the beans with the vinegar and mix well. Cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in the cooked bacon and serve immediately.

I cooked a lot of vegetables like this but shallots are incredibly expensive here so I usually sub in green or spring onion or scallions.
