Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Trim the Beans

    Rinse the haricot verts under cold water. Trim the ends of each bean by cutting off about 1/2 inch from each end.

  2. 2

    Prepare Shallots

    Peel the shallots and finely chop them. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Toast the Almonds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Beans

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed haricot verts and boil for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the shallots are translucent and fragrant.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the blanched haricot verts to the skillet with the garlic and shallots. Season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss everything together gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the haricot verts to a serving dish. Top with toasted almonds and chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your fresh and flavorful haricot verts!
