German-style Green Beans with Potatoes

4 small new red potatoes, quartered or cut in equal-size chunks

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

½ pound bacon

1 medium yellow onion, diced

1 soft, ripe tomato, diced

1 clove garlic, whole

¼ teaspoon summer savory

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

In large pot of boiling water, cook the potatoes until tender but still firm, 8-10 minutes. Add green beans last few minutes and cook until tender.

In the meantime, cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Remove, cool and crumble.

To the pan add onions, diced tomato and garlic and saute until soft. Season with savory. Stir in green beans, potatoes and bacon, cover and simmer until very hot, about 10 minutes more. Sprinkle red wine vinegar over all.

Serves four to six.
