Green Beans with Speck can be made ahead and heated in the oven right before serving.
Serves 2-4
Speck, technically called Schinkenspeck, is a dry aged prosciutto product. Bacon or ham can be substituted if your grocer does not carry this Austrian favorite. Enjoy Green Beans with Speck with chicken, fish, or pork
Ingredients:
1 lb of green beans
2 ounces schinkenspeck, minced
Method:
1. Simmer green beans in a large pot of salted water until just cooked. Drain and set aside.
Minced Speck adds ham flavor to the green beans.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add speck and cook until the fat renders (much like bacon).
3. Add green beans and toss with speck. Serve hot.

They are spelled schinkenspeck and prosciutto.
Thank you, William!
I’d like to say spell check failed me, but truth be told I’m working fast to get these recipes out to you tonight. I made the corrections. Thanks for your understanding!
Do you like schinkenspeck?
Never tried it, but using american bacon as a substitute would likely give a very different flavor. I will try it with parma though, always looking for new green bean ideas.
If you have a German deli near you, they are likely to carry Speck. Let me know if you try it!
So beautiful!!!
