Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 yellow onion (chopped)
• 1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed)
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cup rice (cooked)

Instructions

1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add chopped yellow onion and green beans to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until onion is softened and green beans are crisp-tender.
3. While the pork and vegetables cook, whisk together apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
4. Pour the glaze over the pork and vegetables in the skillet. Stir to coat evenly and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens.
5. Serve the cider-glazed pork and green beans immediately with cooked rice on the side.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the glaze to your preference. Leftovers are delicious reheated.
