Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs green beans (washed and drained) (900g)
  • 4 slices bacon (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup water ** (240ml)
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Line up green beans on a chopping board a few at a time. Cut off the tops and tails. If the green beans are too long, cut them in half.
