The dressing is made by frying bacon and onions, then deglazing the pan with balsamic vinegar to capture all the flavour. Everything is tossed together for a hearty and flavourful dish that serves a crowd. It's a simple yet satisfying recipe that brings a taste of Liege to your table.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped into 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 pound thick cut bacon
- 3 small onions, sliced
- 2 cups balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Put the cubed potatoes into a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes until they are tender. In another pot, bring water to a boil and cook the green beans for approximately 5 minutes. Drain both the potatoes and beans.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet until it becomes crisp. Take the bacon out and set it aside. Fry the sliced onions in the bacon fat until they are soft and have browned. Remove the onions and set them aside. Pour the balsamic vinegar into the same skillet, stirring to lift all the browned bits from the pan base.
- Combine the cooked green beans, potatoes, onions and bacon in a large bowl. Pour the warm balsamic dressing from the skillet over the ingredients and toss everything to coat evenly. Add salt and pepper according to your taste.
