Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams green beans
- 60 grams slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons tamari sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the slivered almonds and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet along with the water. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the green beans steam for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Remove the lid and stir in the tamari sauce, salt, and black pepper. Toss the green beans until evenly coated in the sauce, letting it cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Return the toasted almonds to the skillet and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Toss everything together gently.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
