Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

with balsamic sauce

Blanch the beans in cooking water for about 4 minutes until al dente, then rinse with cold water. Set aside. In the meantime, peel the onion and cut into strips along with the bacon. Peel the carrot into thin strips using a vegetable peeler. (They should look like tagliatelle.) Fry the bacon and onion in oil for 2 minutes, add the beans, and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add the carrot strips and fry for another minute. Transfer everything from the pan to a plate and set aside. Melt the butter in the same pan, add the sugar, and let it caramelize. Once the sugar has browned, deglaze with a generous splash of balsamic vinegar and simmer for about 3 minutes. If the sauce is still too acidic, add another teaspoon of sugar and let it melt. Finally, return the salad to the pan, heat briefly, and toss everything with the balsamic sauce.
