Ingredients

1 ½ pounds Kwintus beans
6 strips of bacon
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 tablespoon marjoram (chopped)
Coarsely ground pepper
½ cup walnuts (chopped)

Directions

In a large skillet, steam the beans in 1/2 inch of water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water; pat thoroughly dry.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon over moderately high heat until crisp; drain well and crumble. Add the garlic to the drippings in the skillet and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the beans and half of the marjoram, season generously with pepper and toss until hot. Transfer the beans to a platter. Garnish with the walnuts, bacon and the remaining marjoram and serve.
