Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound fresh green beans
4 strips thick-sliced bacon
4 ounces Roquefort cheese
1 1/2 cups walnut halves -- toasted
freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

Bring a saucepan of water to boil and add the beans. Simmer until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Set them aside. Cut the bacon slices into 1/4-inch wide strips. Place them in a skillet and cook over medium heat until well-cooked, 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon (reserve the skillet), and set it aside to drain on paper towels. Add the green beans to the skillet and heat through over medium heat, for 2 minutes. Add the Roquefort, and toss until the cheese just begins to melt, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle with the walnuts and lots of pepper. Serve immediately.
