Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g fresh green beans
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 60 g slivered almonds
- 40 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 120 ml water
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim off the ends. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the slivered almonds and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant and lightly golden.
Add the green beans to the skillet, and pour in the water. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the beans to steam for 5-6 minutes, until they become tender-crisp.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Continue to cook the green beans, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the beans start to caramelize slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Season the green beans with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds and grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans. Gently toss everything together until well combined.
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy this savory side dish alongside your favorite main course!
