Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams haricots verts (French green beans)
- 60 grams slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Trim the ends off the haricots verts and rinse them under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt. Blanch the haricots verts by boiling them for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Drain the beans and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and slightly foaming.
Add the slivered almonds to the skillet. Toast them, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Toss the blanched haricots verts into the skillet with the almonds and garlic. Stir gently to coat the beans evenly.
Season the dish with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and drizzle with lemon juice.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beans are warmed through. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately as a side to your favorite meal.
