Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 60 grams slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 60 milliliters water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cool water.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and toast the slivered almonds for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Transfer the almonds to a small plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the garlic and oil mixture.
Pour the water into the skillet and cover it with a lid. Allow the green beans to steam for 5-7 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender.
Remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate. Drizzle the honey over the green beans and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.
Add the toasted almonds back into the skillet and give everything a final stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Transfer the Honey Almond Green Beans to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
