Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium, sliced thinly yellow onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 0.33 cup, freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cool water. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Toss the green beans into the skillet with the garlic. Pour in 1/4 cup of water and cover the skillet. Allow the beans to steam for 4-5 minutes or until they begin to soften but retain a slight crunch.
Remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate. Add the caramelized onions back into the skillet along with the sliced almonds. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes to toast the almonds slightly.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the green beans, stirring to evenly coat them. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
