Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 60 grams slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until vibrant and just tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. After a few minutes, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the slivered almonds and toast them, stirring frequently, for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until it is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the drained green beans to the skillet and toss them to coat in the buttery almond mixture.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the green beans and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly until the green beans are heated through.
Transfer the green beans almondine to a serving dish and serve immediately, enjoying the delightful crunch and flavor.
