Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds green beans, stem end removed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 pound pancetta thinly sliced
1 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 to 5 small white button mushrooms, wiped of grit and sliced
2 tablespoons sour cream

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a big pinch of salt and add the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, the beans should still be crisp as they will be cooked more in the pan with the pancetta and mushrooms. Drain them and set aside.

Heat the oil up in a saute pan and add the garlic and pancetta and cook until slightly crispy. Remove the pancetta from the pan and set aside. Add the butter to the fat that has rendered from the pancetta and saute the mushrooms until golden and crispy. Season with salt and pepper. Return the pancetta to the pan and add the blanched beans. Finish with the sour cream and bring to a gentle simmer to reduce and thicken a little and allow the flavours to marry. Give it a final taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary, before serving.

pretty good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

this was a good recipe, HOWEVER, i did not care for the pancetta, will use bacon next time... and it was bit too oily, so... next time i will cut out most of the olive oil.. but overall, it was good and will make it again. Read more

OUTSTANDING!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a beautiful dish to add to our holiday feast. I did sub the pancetta for smoked bacon and it was still... fabulous......I will make it exactly as the recipe calls for next time and I am sure this dish will become a staple regardless of the season. Many thanks Tyler Read more

AMAZING!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I hate green beans and I've hated every dish I've ever eaten with green beans in it, except for this one. I made this last... christmas for my guests (so there would be a green bean dish) I ended up trying it and it was delicious! Definitely a keeper!Read more

Great!

I made this for my step daughter and her husband along with a roast. All they complimented were the green beans.

Great Variation on Green Beans
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe several times now with pancetta and once with a good bacon. It has always beeen a big hit but I never... could add the sour cream until now. Wow, this adds a different dimension! For you calorie watchers it's not cheap but it's very delicious. Try it both ways (with and without the sour cream), two totally different dishes. It's a "go-to" recipe for sure.Read more
