Ingredients

2 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 lb fresh green beans
2   slices bacon
1/2 cup red bell peppers, cut into strips
1/2 cup thin onion wedges
1/2 cup whole cashews

Directions

In a small bowl, stir together the teriyaki sauce, honey, and butter.

Fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the lemon juice.  Drop in the beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until beans are bright green.  Drain the beans in a colander and then plunge them into the iced water.  Drain again and set aside.

In a skillet, cook the bacon until very crispy, crumble and set aside.  Saute the bell pepper and onion in the hot bacon fat for 2 minutes.  Add the beans, cashews, and bacon to the skillet.  Add the teriyaki-honey sauce and toss gently.
