Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams French green beans (haricots verts), trimmed
- 200 grams Baby bella or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 70 grams Slivered almonds
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Add the French green beans and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain immediately and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain the beans and set them aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the slivered almonds and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms for 5-6 minutes until they are golden and have released their moisture.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the blanched green beans, and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the green beans and mushrooms to a serving platter and sprinkle the toasted almonds on top. Serve immediately.
