Zubereitung

1. 1

   Wash the green beans, trim the ends and halve any very long beans once.

2. 2

   Bring plenty of water to the boil with the salt and the dried savory and cook the beans uncovered until just tender.

3. 3

   Drain the beans, refresh them in cold water straight away and leave them to drain well so they keep their green colour.

4. 4

   Gather eight to ten beans at a time into a bundle and wrap them tightly with a slice of smoked streaky bacon.

5. 5

   Melt the butter or margarine in a frying pan and fry the bundles over medium heat on all sides until the bacon is crisp.

6. 6

   Season the Speckbohnen with pepper and nutmeg and serve at once.
