Green Beans "almondine" Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Green Beans

   Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them under cold water. Set aside.

2. 2

   Blanch the Green Beans

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain again and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Almonds

   In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
