Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_sugar'], recipe: cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until partially cooked but not brown, 5 to 6 minutes; drain on paper towels. combine the drained bacon, green beans, and pears in a large saucepan; pour enough water over the mixture to cover. bring to a boil; reduce the heat to low and simmer until cooked and tender, about 30 minutes. remove from the pan to a serving dish with a slotted spoon, draining excess water. season with salt and pepper to serve.

Target recipe: if you are using fresh green beans, boil them 5 to 8 minutes or until they are tender. sauté the pearl onions in the olive oil until they are translucent. add the green beans (with ends removed) and summer savory and cook over low heat until heated through. season to taste with salt and pepper, add some unsalted butter if desired and serve hot. make it even yummier and heartier by throwing in some crumbled bacon or small diced ham. for a vegan/vegetarian version omit the optional bacon and ham or use vegetarian bacon or vegetarian ham.
