Name: Green Beans And Broccoli With A Bacon-Lemon Topping
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 lb green beans, fine; 12 ounces broccoli florets; 1 tablespoon butter; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 small onions, chopped or 1 small shallot; 5 slices lean bacon, chopped; 2 ounces fresh lemon juice; 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon grainy prepared mustard; 2 teaspoons brown sugar (to taste); salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse, freshly ground

Servings: persons

1/2 lb green beans, fine
12 ounces broccoli florets
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onions, chopped or 1 small shallot
5 slices lean bacon, chopped
2 ounces fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon grainy prepared mustard
2 teaspoons brown sugar (to taste)
salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse, freshly ground

1
Prepare the vegetables and put it all in a pot with a little water, and bring to a boil. Parboil only, for about 2 - 3 minutes, until bright green but still a little crunchy. Add salt and drain in a colander or sieve.
2
Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet, then add the chopped onion and bacon. Use fairly high heat, and stir often with a wooden spoon, until onions and bacon are soft, not brown or crisp.
3
Turn heat off, but keep on the hob while adding lemon juice, sugar (or substitute) and mustard. Mix all well with the back of a spoon.
4
Put the vegetables in a heated oven dish, then ladle over the bacon-lemon topping.
5
There won't be much sauce, as my idea was to flavour but not obscure the crunchy taste of the fresh veggies.
6
If the vegetables have cooled while you made the sauce topping, cover the dish with foil and leave in a warming oven to warm through -- but not for too long!
7
Nice with any meat dish and rice.
