Braised Green Beans with Pancetta and Caramelized Onions

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 5 side servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 pound pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch dice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 pounds trimmed green beans, blanched
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

  • In a heavy skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until the onions are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
