Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh green beans
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced and zested
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tray Ice cubes
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water with a pinch of salt to a boil. Prepare a large bowl with ice water nearby.
Trim the ends of the green beans.
Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Quickly transfer the green beans to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain their bright green color. Drain well and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced almonds and toast, stirring often, for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the drained green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them with the garlic and oil.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through.
Add the toasted almonds to the skillet and gently toss everything together.
Transfer the green beans almondine to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
