Ingredients
  

  • 2 handfuls French beans, with the ends chopped off
  • ΒΌ cup leftover chicken skin, cut into small pieces
  • 2 tsp schmaltz (rendered chicken fat)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized skillet, heat up the schmaltz until it's hot and rippling. Add the green beans, shaking the pan to fully coat them in the schmaltz. Cook for about 5 minutes, shaking the pan every minute or so.
  • Once the green beans have begun to wilt and brown ever so slightly, remove them from the skillet and arrange them on a serving plate.
  • In the same skillet, add the pieces of chicken skin and cook for about a minute or two on each side. Remove and place onto a paper towel to absorb the oil. After a minute or so, sprinkle them over the French beans to garnish and serve while still hot.
