Description

This keto take on Southern green beans combines canned beans, bacon, and daikon radish and cooks them in the Instant Pot for a quick side dish.

Ingredients

8 ounces thick cut bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup diced yellow onion
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 (15 ounce) cans cut green beans, with liquid
2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 pounds daikon (white radish), peeled and chopped

Directions

1 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add bacon and cook until almost crispy, about 8 minutes. Take your time cooking the bacon in order to render out all the fat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
2 Pour in vinegar and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Pour in beans and their liquid; season with salt and pepper. Stir in radishes. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
3 Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
