Instructions

1

Prepare the Green Beans

Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process.

2

Toast the Almonds

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the slivered almonds and toast them, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3

Sauté the Garlic

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4

Combine Ingredients

Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the garlic. Toss to coat the beans in the butter and garlic. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5

Finish and Serve

Add the toasted almonds back into the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve warm.
