Just like the beans at a well-known restaurant I went to in Berlin.

A German friend of mine told me of this recipe which I have made over the last 40 years and I am still loving it. Only difference is he added garlic and tomato paste to the pot whilst the beans are cooking. Try it.

In reply to Brian Jones. I'm sure they'd be wonderful with home grown beans, always a bonus! And so true - simple but delicious.

We make green beans so often - and of course everything taste better with bacon 🙂 . Love the contrast in textures and color with the bacon. Definitely worth making !

The only way I make green beans! I grew up with green beans always served with bacon and maybe that came from my family's German roots. 🙂
