Fresh Green Beans & Almonds Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Green Beans

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

Blanch the Green Beans

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Toast the Almonds

In a skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds and toast them for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Remove from the heat.

Sauté with Garlic

In the same skillet, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add in the blanched green beans and toss to coat.

Season and Serve

Season the green beans with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss in the toasted almonds. Serve warm.
