Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 50 grams slivered almonds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 milliliters water
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans, snipping off the ends as needed.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat until it starts to sizzle.
Add the slivered almonds to the skillet and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Add the green beans to the skillet, along with the salt, black pepper, and water. Stir to combine.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the green beans to steam for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow any excess water to evaporate while sautéing the beans for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the lemon zest and return the toasted almonds to the skillet, tossing everything together to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then remove from heat.
Serve immediately as a bright and nutty side dish.
