Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 60 grams sliced almonds
- 45 grams butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 pieces lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Drain the green beans and immediately immerse them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This will also help retain their color.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and toast them for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Drain the green beans from the ice water and add them to the skillet with the almonds and garlic.
Sauté the green beans for about 4-5 minutes until they are heated through.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the green beans and toss to combine.
Finish by sprinkling the chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Serve immediately as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
