Method

  1. Trim the ends off the green beans. Finely sliced the green leaves of the spring onion/scallions. Dice the bacon.
  2. Place a large frypan over medium high heat. Before you add any oil, toast the pumpkin seeds. Place the pumpkin seeds in the frypan and toast until lightly golden. Then remove from the pan and place in a bowl to cool.
  3. Place the frypan back over the heat. Add the garlic infused oil and bacon. Fry the bacon bits until crispy. Remove the from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Return the frypan to the heat and add the green beans and spring onion. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the green beans are tender and slightly golden.
  5. Transfer to a platter. Season generously with black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Roughly chop the pumpkin seeds. Top the platter with the chopped pumpkin seeds, crispy bacon and extra lemon wedges. Serve warm.
