This Italian Keto Green Bean & Bacon Medley captures the essence of traditional Tuscan cuisine with its fresh, rustic ingredients. Perfect for a ketogenic diet, this dish combines Italian green beans, bacon, and tomatoes for a flavorful and healthy meal.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 lb Italian green beans trimmed and halved
  • 8 slices high-quality bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 medium tomatoes diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar optional, for finishing touch

Instructions
 

  • Trim and halve the Italian green beans. Dice the tomatoes and mince the garlic. Cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the Italian green beans to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and the tomatoes have broken down into a thick sauce.
  • Stir in the crispy bacon, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar (if using). Let it cook uncovered for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  • Remove from heat and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Divide the medley into four equal portions and serve warm, either alone or as a side dish to a main protein such as grilled chicken or fish.

Special Tip

For the best flavor infusion, allow the cooked medley to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This resting period helps the ingredients to blend and soak up all the delicious juices, enhancing the overall taste.
