The best green bean recipe

Ingredients:

• 450 g green beans
• 2 tablespoons bacon fat (or 2 tablespoons butter)
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 cup chicken broth + more as needed
• 0.5 cup chopped sweet pepper
• 0.5 - 1 tsp coarse salt (can be replaced with 1/4 - 0.5 tsp regular table salt)
• Ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Trim the ends of the green beans or cut them into one large bunch.
2. Melt the fat in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 1 minute. Then add the green beans and cook until bright green, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, finely chopped bell pepper, and salt and black pepper to taste.
3. Reduce the heat and cover the pan with a lid, leaving the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and the beans are fairly tender but still slightly crisp, 20-30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it evaporate so the onions and peppers can begin to caramelize.
